Here's an article: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/voltage-dividers
Depending on the location of your roborio and the location of the sensor, you may consider an I2C or SPI analog to digital converter (ADC) chip and creating a custom circuit solution. Analog signals and distances don't mix very well.

Let me know if you need help with this.
