The answer to 4 feet 10 inches minus 1 foot 7 inches (4' 10" - 1' 7") is displayed below:
3 feet 3 inches
Here is how we calculated 4 feet 10 inches minus 1 foot 7 inches to get the answer above:
First, we converted feet to inches so we are only dealing with inches.
4 feet 10 inches = 58 inches
1 foot 7 inches = 19 inches
Then, we deducted 19 inches from 58 inches to get the total number of inches:
58 - 19 = 39 inches.
Finally, we converted 39 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
4' 10" - 1' 7" = 3' 3"
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.
