The photographer has asked the club to submit the height of each member so that he can quickly arrange them in order. The math club sent him the following information. Anica is 4 inches taller than Bruce. Charles is the same height as Ellen but an inch taller than Anica. Fred is midway between Bruce and Dora. Dora is 2 inches taller than Anice. Help out the photographer by arranging the club members in order from tallest to shortest. Draw a diagram.
