The answer to 3 feet 0 inches minus 4 feet 6 inches (3' 0" - 4' 6") is displayed below:
- 1 foot 6 inches
Here is how we calculated 3 feet 0 inches minus 4 feet 6 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
4 feet 6 inches = 54 inches
Then, we deducted 54 inches from 36 inches to get the total number of inches:
36 - 54 = -18 inches.
Finally, we converted -18 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
3' 0" - 4' 6" = - 1' 6"
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.
