The answer to 2 feet 9 inches minus 5 feet 1 inch (2' 9" - 5' 1") is displayed below:
- 2 feet 4 inches
Here is how we calculated 2 feet 9 inches minus 5 feet 1 inch to get the answer above:
First, we converted feet to inches so we are only dealing with inches.
2 feet 9 inches = 33 inches
5 feet 1 inch = 61 inches
Then, we deducted 61 inches from 33 inches to get the total number of inches:
33 - 61 = -28 inches.
Finally, we converted -28 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
2' 9" - 5' 1" = - 2' 4"
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.
