The answer to 3 feet 0 inches minus 2 feet 8 inches (3' 0" - 2' 8") is displayed below:
0 feet 4 inches
Here is how we calculated 3 feet 0 inches minus 2 feet 8 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
2 feet 8 inches = 32 inches
Then, we deducted 32 inches from 36 inches to get the total number of inches:
36 - 32 = 4 inches.
Finally, we converted 4 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
3' 0" - 2' 8" = 0' 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.
