The answer to 5 feet 9 inches minus 8 feet 8 inches (5' 9" - 8' 8") is displayed below:
- 2 feet 11 inches
Here is how we calculated 5 feet 9 inches minus 8 feet 8 inches to get the answer above:
First, we converted feet to inches so we are only dealing with inches.
5 feet 9 inches = 69 inches
8 feet 8 inches = 104 inches
Then, we deducted 104 inches from 69 inches to get the total number of inches:
69 - 104 = -35 inches.
Finally, we converted -35 inches into feet and inches to get the answer.
5' 9" - 8' 8" = - 2' 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.
