The answer to 3 feet 10 inches minus 8 feet 5 inches (3' 10" - 8' 5") is displayed below:
- 4 feet 7 inches
Here is how we calculated 3 feet 10 inches minus 8 feet 5 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
8 feet 5 inches = 101 inches
Then, we deducted 101 inches from 46 inches to get the total number of inches:
46 - 101 = -55 inches.
Finally, we converted -55 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
3' 10" - 8' 5" = - 4' 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.
