The answer to 2 feet 5 inches minus 8 feet 7 inches (2' 5" - 8' 7") is displayed below:
- 6 feet 2 inches
Here is how we calculated 2 feet 5 inches minus 8 feet 7 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 7 inches = 103 inches
Then, we deducted 103 inches from 29 inches to get the total number of inches:
29 - 103 = -74 inches.
Finally, we converted -74 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
2' 5" - 8' 7" = - 6' 2"
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.
