The answer to 4 feet 2 inches minus 5 feet 8 inches (4' 2" - 5' 8") is displayed below:
- 1 foot 6 inches
Here is how we calculated 4 feet 2 inches minus 5 feet 8 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 8 inches = 68 inches
Then, we deducted 68 inches from 50 inches to get the total number of inches:
50 - 68 = -18 inches.
Finally, we converted -18 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
4' 2" - 5' 8" = - 1' 6"
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.
