Is there a conversion short cut for changing 24.2 per square meter into pounds per square foot?
I believe 24.2 Kg/2M can be expressed as 4.95 Lb/2F. Does this seem reasonable?

Give a pilot a fish vs teach a pilot how to fish:

1 kilogram ~= 2.20 pounds
1 meter ~= 3.28 feet

Therefore,

1 kilogram / (1 meter * 1 meter) -
= 2.20 pounds / (3.28 feet * 3.28 feet)
= ((2.20/(3.28*3.28)) (pounds/(feet*feet))
= 0.204 pounds/(feet*feet)
= hum, divide by five.
