The answer to 3 feet 11 inches minus 8 feet 3 inches (3' 11" - 8' 3") is displayed below:
- 4 feet 4 inches
Here is how we calculated 3 feet 11 inches minus 8 feet 3 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
8 feet 3 inches = 99 inches
Then, we deducted 99 inches from 47 inches to get the total number of inches:
47 - 99 = -52 inches.
Finally, we converted -52 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
3' 11" - 8' 3" = - 4' 4"
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.
