Answer 1

To find the equation that represents how to compute Raquel's wage for each yard, we can start by determining her payment per yard.

Raquel mows 8 yards for a total payment of $75. To find her payment per yard, we can divide her total payment by the number of yards she mows:

\[
\text{Payment per yard} = \frac{75}{8}
\]

This shows that for each yard (let's denote the payment per yard as \(x\)), the equation would be:

\[
x = \frac{75}{8}
\]

Looking at the provided response options, the closest representation for this equation is:

\[
\frac{75}{8} = x
\]

So the correct response would be:

**\(75 = 8x\)**

This equation indicates that her total pay ($75) is equivalent to the number of yards mowed (8) multiplied by the pay per yard (x).

Thus, the correct answer from the options presented is:

**\(75 = 8x\)**
