The answer to 3 feet 0 inches minus 1 foot 5 inches (3' 0" - 1' 5") is displayed below:
1 foot 7 inches
Here is how we calculated 3 feet 0 inches minus 1 foot 5 inches to get the answer above:
First, we converted feet to inches so we are only dealing with inches.
3 feet 0 inches = 36 inches
1 foot 5 inches = 17 inches
Then, we deducted 17 inches from 36 inches to get the total number of inches:
36 - 17 = 19 inches.
Finally, we converted 19 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
3' 0" - 1' 5" = 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.
