4.8792 lb

1)Since a 12 inch weighs 0.428 lb

2) We need to convert a 11.4 ft to lb

1 ft -----12 inches

11.4 -----x

x=136.8 inches

3) If a 12 inches long steel weighs 0.428 lb, let's calculate the weight of 136.8 inches cable

12 inches -----------------0 .428 lb

136.8 inches ------- y

12y =0.428 x 136.8

12y =58.5504

y=4.8792 lb
