7yd 2ft 3in
- 2yd 2ft 9 in
To subtract 2yd 2ft 9in from 7yd 2ft 3in, you need to subtract each unit separately and carry over or borrow when needed.
First, let's subtract the inches.
In this case, we have 3in and we need to subtract 9in. Since 3in is smaller than 9in, we need to borrow from the feet.
1 foot is equal to 12 inches, so we can borrow 1ft (12in) from the 2ft we have.
Now we have 1ft 15in (or 2ft - 1ft + 15in).
Next, subtract the inches: 15in - 9in = 6in.
Now let's move on to the feet.
We have 1ft remaining from the original 2ft and we need to subtract 2ft. Since 1ft is smaller than 2ft, we need to borrow from the yards.
1 yard is equal to 3 feet, so we can borrow 1yd (3ft) from the 7yd we have.
Now we have 6yd 1ft 6in (or 7yd - 1yd + 1ft - 2ft + 6in).
Finally, subtract the feet: 1ft - 2ft = -1ft. And subtract the yards: 6yd - 1yd = 5yd.
The final answer is 5yd 1ft 6in.
7yd 2ft 3in - 2yd 2ft 9 in
6 yd 5 ft 3 in - 2 yd 2ft 9 in
6 yd 4 ft 15 in - 2 yd 2ft 9 in = 4 yd 2 ft 6 in
