Let’s solve each problem step by step. We’re adding or subtracting lengths in feet and inches. Remember:
→ 12 inches = 1 foot
→ When you have 12 or more inches, convert them to feet.
→ When subtracting, if the inches on top are smaller than the bottom, borrow 1 foot (which is 12 inches) from the feet part.

We’ll go one by one:

---

1) 4 feet 8 inches - 2 feet 11 inches

Can’t subtract 11 inches from 8 inches → borrow 1 foot from 4 feet → becomes 3 feet, and add 12 inches to 8 → 20 inches.

Now: 3 ft 20 in - 2 ft 11 in = (3-2) ft and (20-11) in = 1 foot 9 inches

---

2) 5 feet 3 inches - 3 feet 7 inches

Can’t subtract 7 from 3 → borrow 1 foot → 4 feet 15 inches

4 ft 15 in - 3 ft 7 in = 1 ft 8 in → 1 foot 8 inches

---

3) 3 feet 7 inches - 1 foot 8 inches

Can’t subtract 8 from 7 → borrow 1 foot → 2 feet 19 inches

2 ft 19 in - 1 ft 8 in = 1 ft 11 in → 1 foot 11 inches

---

4) 2 feet 1 inch - 1 foot 11 inches

Can’t subtract 11 from 1 → borrow 1 foot → 1 foot 13 inches

1 ft 13 in - 1 ft 11 in = 0 ft 2 in → 2 inches

---

5) 4 feet 4 inches - 2 feet 5 inches

Can’t subtract 5 from 4 → borrow 1 foot → 3 feet 16 inches

3 ft 16 in - 2 ft 5 in = 1 ft 11 in → 1 foot 11 inches

---

6) 5 feet 6 inches - 2 feet 10 inches

Can’t subtract 10 from 6 → borrow 1 foot → 4 feet 18 inches

4 ft 18 in - 2 ft 10 in = 2 ft 8 in → 2 feet 8 inches

---

7) 4 feet 6 inches - 1 foot 8 inches

Can’t subtract 8 from 6 → borrow 1 foot → 3 feet 18 inches

3 ft 18 in - 1 ft 8 in = 2 ft 10 in → 2 feet 10 inches

---

8) 2 feet 5 inches - 1 foot 9 inches

Can’t subtract 9 from 5 → borrow 1 foot → 1 foot 17 inches

1 ft 17 in - 1 ft 9 in = 0 ft 8 in → 8 inches

---

9) 4 feet 1 inch - 1 foot 5 inches

Can’t subtract 5 from 1 → borrow 1 foot → 3 feet 13 inches

3 ft 13 in - 1 ft 5 in = 2 ft 8 in → 2 feet 8 inches

---

10) 3 feet 6 inches - 2 feet 9 inches

Can’t subtract 9 from 6 → borrow 1 foot → 2 feet 18 inches

2 ft 18 in - 2 ft 9 in = 0 ft 9 in → 9 inches

---

11) 2 feet 7 inches + 1 foot 8 inches

Add feet: 2 + 1 = 3 feet
Add inches: 7 + 8 = 15 inches → that’s 1 foot 3 inches
Total: 3 ft + 1 ft 3 in = 4 feet 3 inches

---

12) 4 feet 6 inches + 3 feet 11 inches

Feet: 4 + 3 = 7 feet
Inches: 6 + 11 = 17 inches → 1 foot 5 inches
Total: 7 ft + 1 ft 5 in = 8 feet 5 inches

---

13) 5 feet 1 inch + 4 feet 7 inches

Feet: 5 + 4 = 9 feet
Inches: 1 + 7 = 8 inches → no conversion needed
9 feet 8 inches

---

14) 4 feet 3 inches + 1 foot 8 inches

Feet: 4 + 1 = 5 feet
Inches: 3 + 8 = 11 inches → still under 12
5 feet 11 inches

---

15) 4 feet 1 inch + 1 foot 3 inches

Feet: 4 + 1 = 5 feet
Inches: 1 + 3 = 4 inches
5 feet 4 inches

---

16) 5 feet 5 inches + 2 feet 8 inches

Feet: 5 + 2 = 7 feet
Inches: 5 + 8 = 13 inches → 1 foot 1 inch
Total: 7 ft + 1 ft 1 in = 8 feet 1 inch

---

17) 2 feet 3 inches + 1 foot 10 inches

Feet: 2 + 1 = 3 feet
Inches: 3 + 10 = 13 inches → 1 foot 1 inch
Total: 3 ft + 1 ft 1 in = 4 feet 1 inch

---

18) 3 feet 8 inches + 1 foot 9 inches

Feet: 3 + 1 = 4 feet
Inches: 8 + 9 = 17 inches → 1 foot 5 inches
Total: 4 ft + 1 ft 5 in = 5 feet 5 inches

---

19) 2 feet 6 inches + 1 foot 7 inches

Feet: 2 + 1 = 3 feet
Inches: 6 + 7 = 13 inches → 1 foot 1 inch
Total: 3 ft + 1 ft 1 in = 4 feet 1 inch

---

20) 5 feet 10 inches + 1 foot 11 inches

Feet: 5 + 1 = 6 feet
Inches: 10 + 11 = 21 inches → 1 foot 9 inches (since 12 in = 1 ft, 21 - 12 = 9)
Total: 6 ft + 1 ft 9 in = 7 feet 9 inches

---
