There is no simple rule for converting metric measurements to customary US measurements. Metric measurements are standardized for each quantity and are based on ratios of 10. However US measurements are derived from the old British imperial system which uses many different units even to measure the same quantity. For example, all metric distances are expressed in terms of multiples or fractions of a meter, while the US system uses units like inches, feet, miles, rods, chains, etc. which do not have a consistent relationship.
That inconsistency means you have to use a conversion table or calculator that associates the various US units with their metric equivalents. Many such tables and calculators are available online; for example, if you wanted to convert meters to feet a simple online search for that phrase ("convert meters to feet") will bring up hundreds of possible sources.
