How to Convert Pound Inches to Pound Feet
Example: How many pound feet are equivalent to 4.78 pound inches?
As;
1 pound inches = 0.083333333333333 pound feet
4.78 pound inches = Y pound feet
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 4.78 times 0.083333333333333 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 4.78 * 0.083333333333333 / 1 = 0.39833333333333 pound feet
Answer is: 0.39833333333333 pound feet are equivalent to 4.78 pound inches.
