The answer to 4 feet 0 inches minus 2 feet 7 inches (4' 0" - 2' 7") is displayed below:
1 foot 5 inches
Here is how we calculated 4 feet 0 inches minus 2 feet 7 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 7 inches = 31 inches
Then, we deducted 31 inches from 48 inches to get the total number of inches:
48 - 31 = 17 inches.
Finally, we converted 17 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
4' 0" - 2' 7" = 1' 5"
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.
