The answer to 2 feet 8 inches minus 4 feet 1 inch (2' 8" - 4' 1") is displayed below:
- 1 foot 5 inches
Here is how we calculated 2 feet 8 inches minus 4 feet 1 inch to get the answer above:
First, we converted feet to inches so we are only dealing with inches.
2 feet 8 inches = 32 inches
4 feet 1 inch = 49 inches
Then, we deducted 49 inches from 32 inches to get the total number of inches:
32 - 49 = -17 inches.
Finally, we converted -17 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
2' 8" - 4' 1" = - 1' 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.
