Need help with units in Mathcad Prime 4.0

I'm doing a simple calculation as shown in the picture attached.

E has units of psi

F has units of in

A = (EF^3)/12

A should have units of lb*in, but Mathcad gives it the unit of (lb*ft^2)/(s^2)

 

Why is this happening?

Mathcad handles units correctly, but sometimes it's confusing.
