The answer to 2 feet 9 inches minus 4 feet 0 inches (2' 9" - 4' 0") is displayed below:
- 1 foot 3 inches
Here is how we calculated 2 feet 9 inches minus 4 feet 0 inches to get the answer above:
First, we converted feet to inches so we are only dealing with inches.
2 feet 9 inches = 33 inches
4 feet 0 inches = 48 inches
Then, we deducted 48 inches from 33 inches to get the total number of inches:
33 - 48 = -15 inches.
Finally, we converted -15 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
2' 9" - 4' 0" = - 1' 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.
