1 answer

To represent how to compute Raquel's wage for each yard she mows, we can set up an equation where \(x\) represents her income from mowing one yard.

Raquel earns $75 for mowing 8 yards, so we can find her earnings per yard by dividing her total earnings by the number of yards.

The correct equation is:

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

This means that for each yard she mows, she earns \( \frac{75}{8} \) dollars.

So the appropriate response is:

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