Question

4' 1" − 1' 10" = Subtract measurement with Same Difference Theorem

Answer 1

2' 3"

Explanation:

Here 4' 1" − 1' 10" is certainly possible, but to carry out this operation we must borrow 1', or 12", from 4' 1":

4' 1" becomes 3' 13", and so the original problem becomes

3' 13" - 1' 10"

which in turn becomes 2' 3"
