The answer to 5 feet 0 inches minus 8 feet 11 inches (5' 0" - 8' 11") is displayed below:
- 3 feet 11 inches
Here is how we calculated 5 feet 0 inches minus 8 feet 11 inches to get the answer above:
First, we converted feet to inches so we are only dealing with inches.
5 feet 0 inches = 60 inches
8 feet 11 inches = 107 inches
Then, we deducted 107 inches from 60 inches to get the total number of inches:
60 - 107 = -47 inches.
Finally, we converted -47 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
5' 0" - 8' 11" = - 3' 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.
