The answer to 3 feet 2 inches minus 4 feet 10 inches (3' 2" - 4' 10") is displayed below:
- 1 foot 8 inches
Here is how we calculated 3 feet 2 inches minus 4 feet 10 inches to get the answer above:
First, we converted feet to inches so we are only dealing with inches.
3 feet 2 inches = 38 inches
4 feet 10 inches = 58 inches
Then, we deducted 58 inches from 38 inches to get the total number of inches:
38 - 58 = -20 inches.
Finally, we converted -20 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
3' 2" - 4' 10" = - 1' 8"
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.
