The answer to 3 feet 9 inches minus 5 feet 3 inches (3' 9" - 5' 3") is displayed below:
- 1 foot 6 inches
Here is how we calculated 3 feet 9 inches minus 5 feet 3 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
5 feet 3 inches = 63 inches
Then, we deducted 63 inches from 45 inches to get the total number of inches:
45 - 63 = -18 inches.
Finally, we converted -18 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
3' 9" - 5' 3" = - 1' 6"
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.
