The answer to 2 feet 3 inches minus 4 feet 0 inches (2' 3" - 4' 0") is displayed below:
- 1 foot 9 inches
Here is how we calculated 2 feet 3 inches minus 4 feet 0 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
4 feet 0 inches = 48 inches
Then, we deducted 48 inches from 27 inches to get the total number of inches:
27 - 48 = -21 inches.
Finally, we converted -21 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
2' 3" - 4' 0" = - 1' 9"
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.
