The answer to 3 feet 8 inches minus 2 feet 5 inches (3' 8" - 2' 5") is displayed below:
1 foot 3 inches
Here is how we calculated 3 feet 8 inches minus 2 feet 5 inches to get the answer above:
First, we converted feet to inches so we are only dealing with inches.
3 feet 8 inches = 44 inches
2 feet 5 inches = 29 inches
Then, we deducted 29 inches from 44 inches to get the total number of inches:
44 - 29 = 15 inches.
Finally, we converted 15 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
3' 8" - 2' 5" = 1' 3"
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.
