    The difference between the largest and the smallest shares is $280

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Total amount to be shared = $560

    Ratios of share are 2:3:9 = > Total of 14 equal portions

    To get one portion, $560 / 14 = $40

    First share is 2, therefore $40 x 2 = $80 (smallest share)

    Second share is 3, therefore $40 x 3 = $120

    Third share is 9, therefore $40 x 9 = $360 (largest share)

    TOTAL = $560

    The difference between the largest and the smallest = $360 - $80

    = $280
