Answer:
the correct choice is marked
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the smaller number. Then the larger number is 8x, and the difference is ...
8x -x = 280
7x = 280 . . . . . simplify
x = 40 . . . . . . divide by 7
The larger number is 8x = 8(40) = 320.

Effectively, we have solved for the multiplier (40) that gives the ratio with 320 on top and a difference between top and bottom of 280:
Answer:
A) gallons
B) Distance between Town A and Town B is miles
Step-by-step explanation:
A)
We know, number of gallons =
if miles per gallon (mpg) is given as 24 & total distance travelled is 3x miles, then, using formula we have:
Number of Gallons =
B)
Now, given is number of gallons = 2y & we know mpg is 24; <em>so what is the distance?</em>
We use the same formula and solve for distance (let distance between A and B be "D"):
