The answer to 3 feet 11 inches minus 0 feet 8 inches (3' 11" - 0' 8") is displayed below:
3 feet 3 inches
Here is how we calculated 3 feet 11 inches minus 0 feet 8 inches to get the answer above:
First, we converted feet to inches so we are only dealing with inches.
3 feet 11 inches = 47 inches
0 feet 8 inches = 8 inches
Then, we deducted 8 inches from 47 inches to get the total number of inches:
47 - 8 = 39 inches.
Finally, we converted 39 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
3' 11" - 0' 8" = 3' 3"
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.
