The answer to 3 feet 11 inches minus 5 feet 8 inches (3' 11" - 5' 8") is displayed below:
- 1 foot 9 inches
Here is how we calculated 3 feet 11 inches minus 5 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
5 feet 8 inches = 68 inches
Then, we deducted 68 inches from 47 inches to get the total number of inches:
47 - 68 = -21 inches.
Finally, we converted -21 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
3' 11" - 5' 8" = - 1' 9"
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.
