Yes 60 inch pounds is precisely 5 foot pounds.
If you don't have a torque wrench, I'd ask someone nearby to show you 60 inch pounds: Trying to describe it over the Internet is difficult to result in a consistent tightness.

Literally, a 6" vice grip (6" from center of screwdriver axis) with a 10 lb weight on the end can give you 60 inch pounds of torque.
