The answer to 3 feet 8 inches minus 9 feet 5 inches (3' 8" - 9' 5") is displayed below:
- 5 feet 9 inches
Here is how we calculated 3 feet 8 inches minus 9 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
9 feet 5 inches = 113 inches
Then, we deducted 113 inches from 44 inches to get the total number of inches:
44 - 113 = -69 inches.
Finally, we converted -69 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
3' 8" - 9' 5" = - 5' 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.
