The answer to 4 feet 2 inches minus 7 feet 4 inches (4' 2" - 7' 4") is displayed below:
- 3 feet 2 inches
Here is how we calculated 4 feet 2 inches minus 7 feet 4 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
7 feet 4 inches = 88 inches
Then, we deducted 88 inches from 50 inches to get the total number of inches:
50 - 88 = -38 inches.
Finally, we converted -38 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
4' 2" - 7' 4" = - 3' 2"
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.
