The answer to 4 feet 7 inches minus 8 feet 4 inches (4' 7" - 8' 4") is displayed below:
- 3 feet 9 inches
Here is how we calculated 4 feet 7 inches minus 8 feet 4 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
8 feet 4 inches = 100 inches
Then, we deducted 100 inches from 55 inches to get the total number of inches:
55 - 100 = -45 inches.
Finally, we converted -45 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
4' 7" - 8' 4" = - 3' 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.
