The answer to 3 feet 8 inches minus 5 feet 5 inches (3' 8" - 5' 5") is displayed below:
- 1 foot 9 inches
Here is how we calculated 3 feet 8 inches minus 5 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
5 feet 5 inches = 65 inches
Then, we deducted 65 inches from 44 inches to get the total number of inches:
44 - 65 = -21 inches.
Finally, we converted -21 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
3' 8" - 5' 5" = - 1' 9"
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.
