1 foot = 12 inches

6 ft 8 in = 5 ft 20 in.

I think you can take it from there.

You're very welcome, Max! You're doing a great job!!

To simplify the expression 6 ft 8 in - 2 ft 9 in, you need to perform subtraction on both the feet part and the inch part separately.

First, subtract the feet:
6 ft - 2 ft = 4 ft

Next, subtract the inches:
8 in - 9 in = -1 in

Now, since we have a negative value for inches, we need to convert it to feet. There are 12 inches in a foot, so if we have a negative inch value, we subtract 1 from the feet and add 12 to the inches.

4 ft - 1 ft = 3 ft
12 in + (-1 in) = 11 in

Therefore, 6 ft 8 in - 2 ft 9 in simplified is 3 ft 11 in.
