there are 12 inches in a foot. Standard measurements are rarely ever "base 10".

165"/lb= 13.75ft-lb

 

[Super Sport]

Same as inches to feet...12 in/lbs = 1 ft/lb

No.

165in/lbs = 165/12 or 13.75ft/lbs

You take the inch pounds and divide it by 12 to get ft/lbs.

To get to inch/pounds from ft/lbs, multiply in/lbs by 12

12 inches equals one foot

That's why metric is easy. It's all base 10. Makes conversions quick
