The answer to 5 feet 5 inches minus 4 feet 9 inches (5' 5" - 4' 9") is displayed below:
0 feet 8 inches
Here is how we calculated 5 feet 5 inches minus 4 feet 9 inches to get the answer above:
First, we converted feet to inches so we are only dealing with inches.
5 feet 5 inches = 65 inches
4 feet 9 inches = 57 inches
Then, we deducted 57 inches from 65 inches to get the total number of inches:
65 - 57 = 8 inches.
Finally, we converted 8 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
5' 5" - 4' 9" = 0' 8"
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.
