The answer to 4 feet 9 inches minus 7 feet 8 inches (4' 9" - 7' 8") is displayed below:
- 2 feet 11 inches
Here is how we calculated 4 feet 9 inches minus 7 feet 8 inches to get the answer above:
First, we converted feet to inches so we are only dealing with inches.
4 feet 9 inches = 57 inches
7 feet 8 inches = 92 inches
Then, we deducted 92 inches from 57 inches to get the total number of inches:
57 - 92 = -35 inches.
Finally, we converted -35 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
4' 9" - 7' 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.
