The answer to 4 feet 0 inches minus 2 feet 5 inches (4' 0" - 2' 5") is displayed below:
1 foot 7 inches
Here is how we calculated 4 feet 0 inches minus 2 feet 5 inches to get the answer above:
First, we converted feet to inches so we are only dealing with inches.
4 feet 0 inches = 48 inches
2 feet 5 inches = 29 inches
Then, we deducted 29 inches from 48 inches to get the total number of inches:
48 - 29 = 19 inches.
Finally, we converted 19 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
4' 0" - 2' 5" = 1' 7"
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.
