Foot pounds to inch pounds

[goXtreme]

My torque wrench does not go to inch pounds. Can I just convert it by dividing?

I need 96 inch pounds, if I convert it, it would be 8 foot pounds, am I right?

Becarefull coverting a big tourgue wrench down to that i have seen alot of broken bolts cause people tried to use a 1/2 or even 3/8 torque wrench like that

Use German torque for something that low.
