The answer to 3 feet 0 inches minus 4 feet 7 inches (3' 0" - 4' 7") is displayed below:
- 1 foot 7 inches
Here is how we calculated 3 feet 0 inches minus 4 feet 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
4 feet 7 inches = 55 inches
Then, we deducted 55 inches from 36 inches to get the total number of inches:
36 - 55 = -19 inches.
Finally, we converted -19 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
3' 0" - 4' 7" = - 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.
