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