The answer to 2 feet 3 inches minus 7 feet 8 inches (2' 3" - 7' 8") is displayed below:
- 5 feet 5 inches
Here is how we calculated 2 feet 3 inches minus 7 feet 8 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
7 feet 8 inches = 92 inches
Then, we deducted 92 inches from 27 inches to get the total number of inches:
27 - 92 = -65 inches.
Finally, we converted -65 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
2' 3" - 7' 8" = - 5' 5"
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.
