The answer to 3 feet 9 inches minus 4 feet 5 inches (3' 9" - 4' 5") is displayed below:
- 0 feet 8 inches
Here is how we calculated 3 feet 9 inches minus 4 feet 5 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
4 feet 5 inches = 53 inches
Then, we deducted 53 inches from 45 inches to get the total number of inches:
45 - 53 = -8 inches.
Finally, we converted -8 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
3' 9" - 4' 5" = - 0' 8"
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.
