The answer to 3 feet 9 inches minus 2 feet 7 inches (3' 9" - 2' 7") is displayed below:
1 foot 2 inches
Here is how we calculated 3 feet 9 inches minus 2 feet 7 inches to get the answer above:
First, we converted feet to inches so we are only dealing with inches.
3 feet 9 inches = 45 inches
2 feet 7 inches = 31 inches
Then, we deducted 31 inches from 45 inches to get the total number of inches:
45 - 31 = 14 inches.
Finally, we converted 14 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
3' 9" - 2' 7" = 1' 2"
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.
