Question Torque Wrench ?

..hope this isn't a stupid question...

I have a torque wrench that measure 20-200 INCH pounds..

So, If I need to torque something that needs to be 5 FOOT lbs, would that be 60 INCH lbs? (5 x 12 = 60)

TIA

This wrench can only be used in America, however. Asia, Europe and South America all use metric wrenches only.

Yeah, nobody knows how to do those pesky conversions to Newton-Meters. Only geniuses would know how to do that...
