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.

<em>Additional comment</em>
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:
67/5 = 13 2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: <u>Define/explain.</u>
An easier way to solve this is by changing the mixed fractions to improper fractions.
To do this, multiply the whole number by the denominator, then add the product to the numerator; the denominator remains the same.
Mixed fraction - a fraction with a whole number.
Improper fraction - a fraction with a numerator larger than the denominator.
Step 2: <u>Solve.</u>
From here, add as usual.
Step 3: <u>Conclude.</u>
You can change the improper fraction to a mixed fraction if you'd like.
To do this, divide the numerator by the denominator.
The amount of times the numerator evenly goes into the denominator is the whole number.
The amount of remaining numbers in the denominator.
The numerator remains the same.
I, therefore, believe the answer to this is 13 2/5.
