I assume you meant 18 inches ( ' usually is the symbol for feet if I recall the imperial measure system)
jenny --> x inches
Demi--> half of that or x/2 inches
Joel --> gets 3/4 of Jenny's or 3x/4
x + x/2 + 3x/4 = 18
times 4
4x + 2x + 3x = 72
9x = 72
x = 8
Jenny gets 8 inches.
check:
Jenny -- 8
Demi --- 4
Joel ---- 6
total = 8+4+6 =18
