The answer to 4 feet 7 inches minus 1 foot 8 inches (4' 7" - 1' 8") is displayed below:
2 feet 11 inches
Here is how we calculated 4 feet 7 inches minus 1 foot 8 inches to get the answer above:
First, we converted feet to inches so we are only dealing with inches.
4 feet 7 inches = 55 inches
1 foot 8 inches = 20 inches
Then, we deducted 20 inches from 55 inches to get the total number of inches:
55 - 20 = 35 inches.
Finally, we converted 35 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
4' 7" - 1' 8" = 2' 11"
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.
