The answer to 2 feet 3 inches minus 1 foot 7 inches (2' 3" - 1' 7") is displayed below:
0 feet 8 inches
Here is how we calculated 2 feet 3 inches minus 1 foot 7 inches to get the answer above:
First, we converted feet to inches so we are only dealing with inches.
2 feet 3 inches = 27 inches
1 foot 7 inches = 19 inches
Then, we deducted 19 inches from 27 inches to get the total number of inches:
27 - 19 = 8 inches.
Finally, we converted 8 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
2' 3" - 1' 7" = 0' 8"
Note: There are 12 inches in a foot. Thus, you multiply feet by 12 to get only inches, and
to make it back to feet and inches we divided the total number of inches by 12.
