The answer to 2 feet 9 inches minus 8 feet 6 inches (2' 9" - 8' 6") is displayed below:
- 5 feet 9 inches
Here is how we calculated 2 feet 9 inches minus 8 feet 6 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
8 feet 6 inches = 102 inches
Then, we deducted 102 inches from 33 inches to get the total number of inches:
33 - 102 = -69 inches.
Finally, we converted -69 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
2' 9" - 8' 6" = - 5' 9"
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.
