Multiply the mile figure by 63360. So in = mi × 63360. For a quick mental estimate, multiplying by about 63360 gets you within a percent or so, which is close enough for most everyday purposes.

One mile is a comfortable 20-minute walk. The statute mile is exactly 1,609.344 metres, a consequence of the inch being fixed at 25.4 mm in 1959. It remains the road unit in the US and UK.

One inch is roughly the width of an adult thumb. The inch has been exactly 25.4 millimetres since 1959. Screen sizes, pipe diameters and tyre rims are still specified in inches almost universally.

Yes. Since the 1959 international yard and pound agreement, the imperial and metric systems are related by exact definitions rather than measurements — the inch is exactly 25.4 mm and the pound exactly 0.45359237 kg. Everything derived from those, including this conversion, is therefore exact. Round at the end rather than partway through, since rounding mi before converting introduces an error the conversion then multiplies.
