How to Convert Pound Inches to Kilopound Inches
Example: How many kilopound inches are equivalent to 13.88 pound inches?
As;
1 pound inches = 0.001 kilopound inches
13.88 pound inches = Y kilopound inches
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 13.88 times 0.001 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 13.88 * 0.001 / 1 = 0.01388 kilopound inches
Answer is: 0.01388 kilopound inches are equivalent to 13.88 pound inches.
