Answer:

Claire(taller one)-72 inches; Zoe(shorter one)- 36 inches

36+72=108

Explanation:

2/3 of the height total relies on Claire and 1/3 relies on Zoe

1/3 is half of 2/3, so you can multiple each number by 108 and get the heights of each person by doing that

1/3 times 108 equals 36 inches

2/3 times 108 equals 72 inches

You can see that the second answer is claires height and zoe's height in the first answer
