The answer to 3 feet 7 inches minus 5 feet 0 inches (3' 7" - 5' 0") is displayed below:
- 1 foot 5 inches
Here is how we calculated 3 feet 7 inches minus 5 feet 0 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
5 feet 0 inches = 60 inches
Then, we deducted 60 inches from 43 inches to get the total number of inches:
43 - 60 = -17 inches.
Finally, we converted -17 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
3' 7" - 5' 0" = - 1' 5"
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.
