The answer to 4 feet 2 inches minus 2 feet 9 inches (4' 2" - 2' 9") is displayed below:
1 foot 5 inches
Here is how we calculated 4 feet 2 inches minus 2 feet 9 inches to get the answer above:
First, we converted feet to inches so we are only dealing with inches.
4 feet 2 inches = 50 inches
2 feet 9 inches = 33 inches
Then, we deducted 33 inches from 50 inches to get the total number of inches:
50 - 33 = 17 inches.
Finally, we converted 17 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
4' 2" - 2' 9" = 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.
