The answer to 3 feet 10 inches minus 8 feet 9 inches (3' 10" - 8' 9") is displayed below:
- 4 feet 11 inches
Here is how we calculated 3 feet 10 inches minus 8 feet 9 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 9 inches = 105 inches
Then, we deducted 105 inches from 46 inches to get the total number of inches:
46 - 105 = -59 inches.
Finally, we converted -59 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
3' 10" - 8' 9" = - 4' 11"
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.
