The answer to 4 feet 2 inches minus 5 feet 0 inches (4' 2" - 5' 0") is displayed below:
- 0 feet 10 inches
Here is how we calculated 4 feet 2 inches minus 5 feet 0 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
5 feet 0 inches = 60 inches
Then, we deducted 60 inches from 50 inches to get the total number of inches:
50 - 60 = -10 inches.
Finally, we converted -10 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
4' 2" - 5' 0" = - 0' 10"
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.
