40lbs/ft^2 *((1ft)^2/(12in)^2 = 40 lbs/ft^2 *(1ft^2/144in^2)

write that down on a piece of paper with horizontal division lines. See how the "ft^2" cancels out? You just end up dividing 40 by 144.

I know you can figure this out!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

With any of these conversion problems, you get it so the units you don't want cancel out. Just divide 40 by 144 and your answer will be in lb/in^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Look up unit conversions in google and search by "videos."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused? just tell me the answer/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you need to know this for an exam? Fine, here it is. 0.278 lb/in^2. Can you watch at least one video on how to do these?
