How to Convert Pounds Per Linear Feet to Kilopounds Per Linear Feet

Example: How many kilopounds per linear feet are equivalent to 7.99 pounds per linear feet?


As;

1 pounds per linear feet = 0.001 kilopounds per linear feet

7.99 pounds per linear feet = Y kilopounds per linear feet

Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;

Y equals 7.99 times 0.001 over 1

(i.e.) Y = 7.99 * 0.001 / 1 = 0.00799 kilopounds per linear feet

Answer is: 0.00799 kilopounds per linear feet are equivalent to 7.99 pounds per linear feet.
