Answer:
196
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the largest share was 56 and the largest ratio is 14, then
56 ÷ 14 = 4 ← value of 1 part of the share, thus
8 parts = 8 × 4 = 32
6 parts = 6 × 4 = 24
9 parts = 9 × 4 = 36
14 parts = 14 × 4 = 56
12 parts = 12 × 4 = 48
Total the amounts
total = 32 + 24 + 36 + 56 + 48 = 196
