The answer to 3 feet 1 inch minus 8 feet 8 inches (3' 1" - 8' 8") is displayed below:
- 5 feet 7 inches
Here is how we calculated 3 feet 1 inch minus 8 feet 8 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
8 feet 8 inches = 104 inches
Then, we deducted 104 inches from 37 inches to get the total number of inches:
37 - 104 = -67 inches.
Finally, we converted -67 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
3' 1" - 8' 8" = - 5' 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.
