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.

Additional comment

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:

  [tex]\dfrac{8}{1}=\dfrac{8\cdot40}{1\cdot40}=\dfrac{320}{40}[/tex]
