The answer to 2 feet 5 inches minus 1 foot 8 inches (2' 5" - 1' 8") is displayed below:
0 feet 9 inches
Here is how we calculated 2 feet 5 inches minus 1 foot 8 inches to get the answer above:
First, we converted feet to inches so we are only dealing with inches.
2 feet 5 inches = 29 inches
1 foot 8 inches = 20 inches
Then, we deducted 20 inches from 29 inches to get the total number of inches:
29 - 20 = 9 inches.
Finally, we converted 9 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
2' 5" - 1' 8" = 0' 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.
