The answer to 2 feet 9 inches minus 4 feet 4 inches (2' 9" - 4' 4") is displayed below:
- 1 foot 7 inches
Here is how we calculated 2 feet 9 inches minus 4 feet 4 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 4 inches = 52 inches
Then, we deducted 52 inches from 33 inches to get the total number of inches:
33 - 52 = -19 inches.
Finally, we converted -19 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
2' 9" - 4' 4" = - 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.
