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

8/75 = x/1

75/7 = 8/x

75/8 = x/1

75/7 = x/1

1 answer

To represent how to compute Raquel's wage for each yard she mows, we want to find out how much she earns for mowing one yard.

Raquel earns $75 for mowing 8 yards. To find her wage per yard, we can set up the relationship as follows:

Each yard earns her \(\frac{75}{8}\) dollars.

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

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

This means that she makes \(\frac{75}{8}\) dollars for one yard. So the correct option from your list is:

75/8 = x/1
