The answer to 3 feet 5 inches minus 4 feet 9 inches (3' 5" - 4' 9") is displayed below:
- 1 foot 4 inches
Here is how we calculated 3 feet 5 inches minus 4 feet 9 inches to get the answer above:
First, we converted feet to inches so we are only dealing with inches.
3 feet 5 inches = 41 inches
4 feet 9 inches = 57 inches
Then, we deducted 57 inches from 41 inches to get the total number of inches:
41 - 57 = -16 inches.
Finally, we converted -16 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
3' 5" - 4' 9" = - 1' 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.
