Answer: 2' 3"

In other words, it's 2 feet, 3 inches

=================================================

Work Shown:

Convert the 4'1" to purely inches only

4'1" = 4 ft, 1 inch

4'1" = 4 ft + 1 inch

4'1" = 48 inches + 1 inch

4'1" = 49 inches

Note how 4 ft = 4*12 = 48 inches

-------------------

Through similar steps, you should find that 1'10", aka 1 ft 10 inches, is equivalent to 22 inches

Subtracting the two quantities gets us

(4' 1") - (1' 10") = (49 inches) - (22 inches) = 27 inches

Now convert that to the format "feet,inches".

27 in = 24 in + 3 in

27 in = (24/12 ft) + 3 in

27 in = 2 ft + 3 in

27 in = 2 ft, 3 in

27 in = 2' 3"

4’1= 4 feet and 1 inch
12 inches= 1 ft.
12(4)= 48 ; 48+ 1inch = 49 inches
1’10= 1 foot and 10 inches
1(12)= 12 + 10 = 22
49-22= 27 inches !
