The answer to 2 feet 5 inches minus 8 feet 3 inches (2' 5" - 8' 3") is displayed below:
- 5 feet 10 inches
Here is how we calculated 2 feet 5 inches minus 8 feet 3 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
8 feet 3 inches = 99 inches
Then, we deducted 99 inches from 29 inches to get the total number of inches:
29 - 99 = -70 inches.
Finally, we converted -70 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
2' 5" - 8' 3" = - 5' 10"
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.
