The answer to 3 feet 11 inches minus 1 foot 5 inches (3' 11" - 1' 5") is displayed below:
2 feet 6 inches
Here is how we calculated 3 feet 11 inches minus 1 foot 5 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
1 foot 5 inches = 17 inches
Then, we deducted 17 inches from 47 inches to get the total number of inches:
47 - 17 = 30 inches.
Finally, we converted 30 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
3' 11" - 1' 5" = 2' 6"
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.
