Answer:

68.21 and 39.79

Explanation:

When it says that they are going to "share" it means that the number (108) is going to be divided amongst the two of them. So you are going to do an addition problem which is 12+7=19. So you are going to do 12/19*108=68.21. Then to find the second number it's 7/19*108=39.79.
