The answer to 3 feet 8 inches minus 8 feet 11 inches (3' 8" - 8' 11") is displayed below:
- 5 feet 3 inches
Here is how we calculated 3 feet 8 inches minus 8 feet 11 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
8 feet 11 inches = 107 inches
Then, we deducted 107 inches from 44 inches to get the total number of inches:
44 - 107 = -63 inches.
Finally, we converted -63 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
3' 8" - 8' 11" = - 5' 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.
