The answer to 5 feet 8 inches minus 8 feet 9 inches (5' 8" - 8' 9") is displayed below:
- 3 feet 1 inch
Here is how we calculated 5 feet 8 inches minus 8 feet 9 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
8 feet 9 inches = 105 inches
Then, we deducted 105 inches from 68 inches to get the total number of inches:
68 - 105 = -37 inches.
Finally, we converted -37 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
5' 8" - 8' 9" = - 3' 1"
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.
