Responses

757=x1
Start Fraction 75 over 7 End Fraction equals Start Fraction x over 1 End Fraction

757=8x
Start Fraction 75 over 7 End Fraction equals Start Fraction 8 over 1 End Fraction equals Start Fraction 8 over x end Fraction

758=x1
Start Fraction 75 over 8 End Fraction equals Start Fraction x over 1 End Fraction

875=x1

Answer 1

To compute Raquel's wage for each yard she mows, we need to find out how much she earns per yard. She earns $75 for mowing 8 yards.

To find her wage per yard, we can set up the following equation:

\[
\text{Wage per yard} = \frac{\text{Total wage}}{\text{Number of yards}} = \frac{75}{8}
\]

In the answer options you provided, this can be represented by:

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

Where \( x \) represents her wage per yard.

So the correct choice is:

**Start Fraction 75 over 8 End Fraction equals Start Fraction x over 1 End Fraction**.
