You do use Google search? Try typing '1 mile = ? kilometers' in

Yes you do, unless you want to choose one of: 1760 yards/1.60934
kms/320 rods/1.70108e-13 light-years etc. There is more to a mile
than kilometers.
Yes, but Google doesn't give you those unless you ask for them. It
assumes that you want kilometres.
But maybe it's country-dependent, because it didn't even give me the
American spelling. Perhaps in the UK the default is set to rods, poles,
or perches.
