The answer to 3 feet 6 inches minus 8 feet 8 inches (3' 6" - 8' 8") is displayed below:
- 5 feet 2 inches
Here is how we calculated 3 feet 6 inches minus 8 feet 8 inches to get the answer above:
First, we converted feet to inches so we are only dealing with inches.
3 feet 6 inches = 42 inches
8 feet 8 inches = 104 inches
Then, we deducted 104 inches from 42 inches to get the total number of inches:
42 - 104 = -62 inches.
Finally, we converted -62 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
3' 6" - 8' 8" = - 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.
