a stream is 4 \\(\frac{1}{2}\\) miles long. how many yards long is the stream? (1 mile = 1760 yards)

Explanation:

Step1: Convert mixed number to improper fraction

$4\frac{1}{2} = \frac{4\times2 + 1}{2} = \frac{9}{2}$

Step2: Multiply by yard-per-mile conversion factor

$\frac{9}{2} \times 1760 = 9 \times 880$

Step3: Calculate final yardage

$9 \times 880 = 7920$

Answer:

7920 yards
