How to Convert Pound Inches to Pound Feet
Example: How many pound feet are equivalent to 38.07 pound inches?
As;
1 pound inches = 0.083333333333333 pound feet
38.07 pound inches = Y pound feet
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 38.07 times 0.083333333333333 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 38.07 * 0.083333333333333 / 1 = 3.1725 pound feet
Answer is: 3.1725 pound feet are equivalent to 38.07 pound inches.
