That's what I got as well using the converter I use online.  I use an inch-pound torque wrench, and am often doing the conversion the other direction and this is the site I use.

12 inches in a foot. To find out how many feet are in a given amount of inches divide by 12.

Mixing gas for two strokes. 128 ounces per gallon. Divide 128 by the desired mixing ratio. Example: 40:1. 128 divided by 40 = 3.2 ounces.

This is about all the math you need to know for dirt bikes!
