The answer to 3 feet 7 inches minus 4 feet 11 inches (3' 7" - 4' 11") is displayed below:
- 1 foot 4 inches
Here is how we calculated 3 feet 7 inches minus 4 feet 11 inches to get the answer above:
First, we converted feet to inches so we are only dealing with inches.
3 feet 7 inches = 43 inches
4 feet 11 inches = 59 inches
Then, we deducted 59 inches from 43 inches to get the total number of inches:
43 - 59 = -16 inches.
Finally, we converted -16 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
3' 7" - 4' 11" = - 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.
