When discussing a 454 ft yacht, it’s common to average up to 500. That just makes things easier.
Also, it would probably be acceptable to refer to it as “nearly 1/10 mile” or “1 1/2 football fields”.
Equally acceptable would be “almost as long as a 46 story building is high” or “nearly four times longer than the first Wright Brothers’ flight”.
