    36 inches of cable weighs 0.68 lbs

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1178 ft cable weighs 266 lbs ... and u want to know how many lbs a 36 inch cable weighs ...

    we need to turn ur ft to inches ... 1 ft = 12 inches ... so 1178 ft = (1178 * 12) = 14,136 inches

    14136 in. to 266 lbs = 36 in. to x lbs

    14136 / 266 = 36 / x ... cross multiply

    14136x = (36) (266)

    14136x = 9576

    x = 9576 / 14136
