The answer to 3 feet 10 inches minus 2 feet 3 inches (3' 10" - 2' 3") is displayed below:
1 foot 7 inches
Here is how we calculated 3 feet 10 inches minus 2 feet 3 inches to get the answer above:
First, we converted feet to inches so we are only dealing with inches.
3 feet 10 inches = 46 inches
2 feet 3 inches = 27 inches
Then, we deducted 27 inches from 46 inches to get the total number of inches:
46 - 27 = 19 inches.
Finally, we converted 19 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
3' 10" - 2' 3" = 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.
