To compute Raquel's wage for each yard, we need to find out how much she earns for one yard when she mows 8 yards for $75.
Her total earnings of $75 for 8 yards can be represented as:
\[ \text{Wage per yard} = \frac{\text{Total Wage}}{\text{Number of Yards}} = \frac{75}{8} \]
So, the equation that represents how to compute her wage for each yard (where \(x\) is the wage per yard) would be:
\[ \frac{75}{8} = \frac{x}{1} \]
This corresponds to the answer option:
Start Fraction 75 over 8 End Fraction equals Start Fraction x over 1 End Fraction
So the correct choice is:
Start Fraction 75 over 8 End Fraction equals Start Fraction x over 1 End Fraction
