The answer to 2 feet 8 inches minus 3 feet 4 inches (2' 8" - 3' 4") is displayed below:
- 0 feet 8 inches
Here is how we calculated 2 feet 8 inches minus 3 feet 4 inches to get the answer above:
First, we converted feet to inches so we are only dealing with inches.
2 feet 8 inches = 32 inches
3 feet 4 inches = 40 inches
Then, we deducted 40 inches from 32 inches to get the total number of inches:
32 - 40 = -8 inches.
Finally, we converted -8 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
2' 8" - 3' 4" = - 0' 8"
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.
