The answer to 2 feet 3 inches minus 3 feet 11 inches (2' 3" - 3' 11") is displayed below:
- 1 foot 8 inches
Here is how we calculated 2 feet 3 inches minus 3 feet 11 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
3 feet 11 inches = 47 inches
Then, we deducted 47 inches from 27 inches to get the total number of inches:
27 - 47 = -20 inches.
Finally, we converted -20 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
2' 3" - 3' 11" = - 1' 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.
