Answer:

Tallest = Morgan

Shortest = Suzanna

Explanation:

Assuming Latisha = 1

0.8 is less than 1, meaning it's 80% the height of Latisha, so this means Suzanna is shorter than Latisha.

1.09 is more than 1, Morgan is taller than Latisha.

Morgan is tallest and Suzanna is shortest, Latisha in the middle.
