The answer to 2 feet 8 inches minus 4 feet 3 inches (2' 8" - 4' 3") is displayed below:
- 1 foot 7 inches
Here is how we calculated 2 feet 8 inches minus 4 feet 3 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
4 feet 3 inches = 51 inches
Then, we deducted 51 inches from 32 inches to get the total number of inches:
32 - 51 = -19 inches.
Finally, we converted -19 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
2' 8" - 4' 3" = - 1' 7"
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.
