The answer to 3 feet 0 inches minus 5 feet 5 inches (3' 0" - 5' 5") is displayed below:
- 2 feet 5 inches
Here is how we calculated 3 feet 0 inches minus 5 feet 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
5 feet 5 inches = 65 inches
Then, we deducted 65 inches from 36 inches to get the total number of inches:
36 - 65 = -29 inches.
Finally, we converted -29 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
3' 0" - 5' 5" = - 2' 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.
