The answer to 2 feet 8 inches minus 7 feet 11 inches (2' 8" - 7' 11") is displayed below:
- 5 feet 3 inches
Here is how we calculated 2 feet 8 inches minus 7 feet 11 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
7 feet 11 inches = 95 inches
Then, we deducted 95 inches from 32 inches to get the total number of inches:
32 - 95 = -63 inches.
Finally, we converted -63 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
2' 8" - 7' 11" = - 5' 3"
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.
