The answer to 5 feet 10 inches minus 8 feet 5 inches (5' 10" - 8' 5") is displayed below:
- 2 feet 7 inches
Here is how we calculated 5 feet 10 inches minus 8 feet 5 inches to get the answer above:
First, we converted feet to inches so we are only dealing with inches.
5 feet 10 inches = 70 inches
8 feet 5 inches = 101 inches
Then, we deducted 101 inches from 70 inches to get the total number of inches:
70 - 101 = -31 inches.
Finally, we converted -31 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
5' 10" - 8' 5" = - 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.
