Alas, you don't.
Torque is a measure of how much twist is applied to a fastener. The units used to measure torque are in the form of force times length. The english unit of torque is the Foot pound (Lbf·Ft). The metric (SI) unit of torque is the newton metre (N·m).
You can divide Lbf·Ft by the number of feet and determine the number of pounds of force applied.
