The answer to 3 feet 1 inch minus 4 feet 6 inches (3' 1" - 4' 6") is displayed below:
- 1 foot 5 inches
Here is how we calculated 3 feet 1 inch 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 1 inch = 37 inches
4 feet 6 inches = 54 inches
Then, we deducted 54 inches from 37 inches to get the total number of inches:
37 - 54 = -17 inches.
Finally, we converted -17 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
3' 1" - 4' 6" = - 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.
