25 ft. 8 inches - (18ft 10 inch)
1ft. = 12 inches
25(12) + 8 - [18(12)+10]
308 - 226
82 inches or 6 ft. 10 inches

there are 12 inches by feet so...
25x12=300+8->308
18x12=216+10->226
308-226=answer :82 inches
82/12(6.84) 6x12=72
82-72=10
or answer: 6feet,10 inches

Joanna, you shouldn't be asking this. Regroup 25ft 8in as 24ft 20in and subtract 18ft 10in. When doing subtraction of measurement problems, use the conversion factor (here 1 ft =12in) to regroup sets.
