The answer to 5 feet 8 inches minus 0 feet 5 inches (5' 8" - 0' 5") is displayed below:
5 feet 3 inches
Here is how we calculated 5 feet 8 inches minus 0 feet 5 inches to get the answer above:
First, we converted feet to inches so we are only dealing with inches.
5 feet 8 inches = 68 inches
0 feet 5 inches = 5 inches
Then, we deducted 5 inches from 68 inches to get the total number of inches:
68 - 5 = 63 inches.
Finally, we converted 63 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
5' 8" - 0' 5" = 5' 3"
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.
