Raquel gets paid $75 per week to mow 8 yards. Which equation would represent how to compute her wage for each yard?

75/8= x/1
8/75= x/1
75/7= x\1
75/7= 8/x

1 answer

To find out how to compute Raquel's wage for each yard she mows, we need to determine how much she earns per yard. Since she gets paid $75 for mowing 8 yards, we can set up the equation like this:

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

Where \(x\) represents her wage for mowing one yard. This equation shows that if she earns $75 for 8 yards, then per yard she earns \( \frac{75}{8} \).

So the correct equation representing how to compute her wage for each yard is:

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