The answer to 3 feet 9 inches minus 5 feet 8 inches (3' 9" - 5' 8") is displayed below:
- 1 foot 11 inches
Here is how we calculated 3 feet 9 inches minus 5 feet 8 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 8 inches = 68 inches
Then, we deducted 68 inches from 45 inches to get the total number of inches:
45 - 68 = -23 inches.
Finally, we converted -23 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
3' 9" - 5' 8" = - 1' 11"
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.
