The equation that represents how to compute Raquel's wage for each yard is 757=x1.
To understand why this equation is the correct representation, let's break it down:
- The number 757 represents Raquel's total weekly wage. This is given in the problem as $75 per week.
- The letter x represents the number of yards that Raquel mows in a week. In this case, we want to find the wage for each yard, so this value is x.
- The equation is set up so that 757 (total weekly wage) is equal to x (number of yards) multiplied by 1 (wage per yard).
Therefore, by dividing both sides of the equation by 1, we get x = 757, which means that Raquel's wage for each yard is $75.
The correct equation that represents how to compute Raquel's wage for each yard is:
75 รท 8 = x
So the answer is:
Start Fraction 75 over 8 End Fraction equals Start Fraction x over 1 End Fraction
