The answer to 3 feet 5 inches minus 8 feet 7 inches (3' 5" - 8' 7") is displayed below:
- 5 feet 2 inches
Here is how we calculated 3 feet 5 inches minus 8 feet 7 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
8 feet 7 inches = 103 inches
Then, we deducted 103 inches from 41 inches to get the total number of inches:
41 - 103 = -62 inches.
Finally, we converted -62 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
3' 5" - 8' 7" = - 5' 2"
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.
