The answer to 2 feet 8 inches minus 5 feet 2 inches (2' 8" - 5' 2") is displayed below:
- 2 feet 6 inches
Here is how we calculated 2 feet 8 inches minus 5 feet 2 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
5 feet 2 inches = 62 inches
Then, we deducted 62 inches from 32 inches to get the total number of inches:
32 - 62 = -30 inches.
Finally, we converted -30 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
2' 8" - 5' 2" = - 2' 6"
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.
