It depends what units you are making. for example: 1ft=12in. for better usage use a calculator and a measuring tape.
Not only that, if the unit you want to convert is either bigger or smaller than the output number depending on what it is you have to multiply or divide.
As you dont specify which measurement you require here is a list. Using multiplication or division you will be able use either pen and paper or calculator to get the right answers
1 millimetre [mm] = 0.03937 in
1 centimetre [cm] or 10 mm = 0.3937 in
1 metre [m] or 100 cm = 1.0936 yd
1 kilometre [km] or 1000 m = 0.6214 mile
1 milligram [mg] = 0.0154 grain
1 gram [g] or 1,000 mg = 0.0353 oz
1 kilogram [kg] or 1,000 g = 2.2046 lb
1 tonne [t] or 1,000 kg = 1.1023 short ton
1 tonne [t] or 1,000 kg = 0.9842 long ton
1 ounce [oz] or 437.5 grains = 28.35 g
1 pound [lb] or 16 oz = 0.4536 kg
1 stone or 14 lb = 6.3503 kg
1 hundredweight [cwt] or 112 lb = 50.802 kg
1 short ton (US) = 0.9072 t
1 long ton (UK) = 1.0160 t
1 litre [l] = 2.113 fluid pt
multiply by ten
for example:
Kilogram : 1,000
Hectogram: 100
Dekagram: 10
Gram: 1
Decigram: 0.1
Centigram: 0.01
Milligram: 0.001
There are differrent formulae for different pairs of units and lots of websites that will help you with the task.
First, there is no such thing as english. There is the Imperial system and the conversion from metric to Imperial is different for different measures.
There are different conversion factors between different units. In many cases they are approximate. Also, be aware that the US measures are yet another set of units!
Metric IS English.

The English system is a measurement system; in a sense it is a metric system but it is not the metric system, so I would avoid using that word to describe it.
Inches are part of the English system and centimeters are part of the metric system.
