Oil Pan bolts?

Can you prove it? (hint: the proof is quoted below)

I wasn't taught torque in grade school.

Just grade school algebra :-). Not to mention, it works on -any- unit conversion, with no memorizing necessary.

At any rate, I just found a convenient tool that appears to handle most units:

$ units '7 ft-lbs' 'in-lbs' * 84

and my Dad's favorite obscure unit :

$ units '55 mph' 'furlongs per fortnight' * 147839.7

-D

Yes, that is the conclusion from the proof I gave.

That thought comes from noticing that "foot" and "foot-pound" are different units and then being unsure how the "pounds" portion affects the conversion. I too thought "multiply (or divide) by 12" was too simple and therefore must be wrong, until I worked out the proof :-).
