The answer to 4 feet 8 inches minus 3 feet 6 inches (4' 8" - 3' 6") is displayed below:
1 foot 2 inches
Here is how we calculated 4 feet 8 inches minus 3 feet 6 inches to get the answer above:
First, we converted feet to inches so we are only dealing with inches.
4 feet 8 inches = 56 inches
3 feet 6 inches = 42 inches
Then, we deducted 42 inches from 56 inches to get the total number of inches:
56 - 42 = 14 inches.
Finally, we converted 14 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
4' 8" - 3' 6" = 1' 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.
