Answer: 132

Step-by-step explanation: I think it is 132 because C + 4 = A, D + 1 = F, and B is shortest. so the order is FDAECB with Frank at 69 and Evelyn at 63. Carrie has to be at 60 because Aaron, who is 64, is 4 inches taller than Carrie. So, when you add 69 and 63 together, you get 132. Also just to check, Dan, who is 68, is one inch shorter than Frank, who is the tallest. This is only true because the girls are the youngest.
