The answer to 4 feet 5 inches minus 5 feet 9 inches (4' 5" - 5' 9") is displayed below:
- 1 foot 4 inches
Here is how we calculated 4 feet 5 inches minus 5 feet 9 inches to get the answer above:
First, we converted feet to inches so we are only dealing with inches.
4 feet 5 inches = 53 inches
5 feet 9 inches = 69 inches
Then, we deducted 69 inches from 53 inches to get the total number of inches:
53 - 69 = -16 inches.
Finally, we converted -16 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
4' 5" - 5' 9" = - 1' 4"
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.
