There's a difference between pounds per foot, pound-foot, and foot-pound. They are all different types of units.

Basically, pound/foot is pound DIVIDED BY foot, while pound-foot (or pound foot) is pound MULTIPLIED BY foot.

So what you want is this page:

https://www.convertunits.com/from/kg/m/to/lb/ft

1 kg/m = 0.671968975 lb/ft

These units are all divided, not multiplied. The other example you listed is correct if you are multiplying the units.
