The answer to 4 feet 8 inches minus 2 feet 1 inch (4' 8" - 2' 1") is displayed below:
2 feet 7 inches
Here is how we calculated 4 feet 8 inches minus 2 feet 1 inch to get the answer above:
First, we converted feet to inches so we are only dealing with inches.
4 feet 8 inches = 56 inches
2 feet 1 inch = 25 inches
Then, we deducted 25 inches from 56 inches to get the total number of inches:
56 - 25 = 31 inches.
Finally, we converted 31 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
4' 8" - 2' 1" = 2' 7"
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.
