To find the wage Raquel earns for each yard she mows, we can set up a proportion based on her total pay and the number of yards.

Raquel gets paid $75 for mowing 8 yards, so the wage per yard can be computed as follows:

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

Thus, the correct equation that represents how to compute her wage for each yard is:

\[ \frac{75}{8} = \frac{x}{1} \]

This means her pay \( x \) for one yard can be derived from her total pay divided by the number of yards.

So the correct response is: 75/8=x/1 Start Fraction 75 over 8 End Fraction equals Start Fraction x over 1 End Fraction.
