\\(\bigcirc\\) 142 calories
\\(\bigcirc\\) 71 calories
\\(\bigcirc\\) 568 calories
\\(\bigcirc\\) 284 calories

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the operation

To find the calories in $\frac{1}{2}$ of a cinnamon roll, we need to multiply the total calories of one roll by $\frac{1}{2}$. The total calories per roll is 284.

Step2: Perform the calculation

Calculate $284\times\frac{1}{2}$. Dividing 284 by 2 gives $284\div2 = 142$.

Answer:

142 calories (corresponding to the first option: 142 calories)
