The answer to 3 feet 2 inches minus 8 feet 9 inches (3' 2" - 8' 9") is displayed below:
- 5 feet 7 inches
Here is how we calculated 3 feet 2 inches minus 8 feet 9 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
8 feet 9 inches = 105 inches
Then, we deducted 105 inches from 38 inches to get the total number of inches:
38 - 105 = -67 inches.
Finally, we converted -67 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
3' 2" - 8' 9" = - 5' 7"
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.
