To find the equation that represents how to compute Raquel's wage for each yard mowed, we need to divide her total weekly wage by the number of yards she mows to find out how much she gets paid per yard.
Raquel earns $75 for mowing 8 yards. Therefore, her pay per yard is calculated as:
\[
\text{Pay per yard} = \frac{75 \text{ dollars}}{8 \text{ yards}}
\]
This can be represented in the format of a proportion:
\[
\frac{75}{8} = \frac{x}{1}
\]
Where \( x \) would represent her pay for 1 yard.
Hence, the correct equation that represents how to compute her wage for each yard is:
75/8 = x/1 (though this exact format isn't one of the options, choosing the option that most closely reflects this would be preferred.)
If we look directly at the options provided:
- \( 75/8 = x/1 \) directly represents the payment for each yard, but it's not listed.
- Among the provided options, the closest one is:
75/8 = x/1.
However, since that format does not appear, and seeing other options, in a practical sense, the correct option would be:
75/8=x/1 (to compute her wage per yard), may be the intent if understood correctly .
Let's clarify the options listed:
- 75/7=x/1 (not correct)
- 75/8=x/1 (should've been here but isn't)
- 8/75=x/1 (not correct)
- 75/8=x/1 (correct).
Since it doesn't appear, ideally should clarify for decision in representation.
If the 75/8 option was not presented, it would be best to choose the best logical assumption based on original inquiry understanding.
