The answer to 4 feet 2 inches minus 5 feet 11 inches (4' 2" - 5' 11") is displayed below:
- 1 foot 9 inches
Here is how we calculated 4 feet 2 inches minus 5 feet 11 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 11 inches = 71 inches
Then, we deducted 71 inches from 50 inches to get the total number of inches:
50 - 71 = -21 inches.
Finally, we converted -21 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
4' 2" - 5' 11" = - 1' 9"
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.
