Answer: 9 and 3/7
Step-by-step explanation: To multiply a mixed number by a mixed number, we first want to write each mixed number as an improper fraction.
We can write a mixed number as an improper fraction by multiplying the denominator by the whole number and adding the numerator.
We can change to the improper fraction 30/7.
We can also change to the improper fraction 11/5.
Now, we are simply multiplying fractions. To multiply fractions, we multiply across the numerators and multiply across the denominators. When we multiply these fractions, we will end up with the fraction 330/35. Since 330/35 is not in lowest terms, we need to divide both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor of 330 and 35 which is 5 and we will get the improper fraction 66/7.
Notice however that 66/7 can be changed into a mixed number by dividing the denominator which is 7 into the numerator which is 66.
66 divided by 7 equals 9 with a remainder of 3 so we can write 66/7 as the mixed number 9 and 3/7.
Therefore, 4 and 2/7 × 2 and 1/5 = 9 and 3/7

The formula we use for continuous compounding is 
where P is the initial amount invested, r is the rate as a decimal, and t is time in years. Our P = 1300, our r = .042, and our t = 5.75 (9 months is 3/4 of a year, and 3/4 in a decimal is .75). Putting all that into our formula we have 
. We have to multiply those 2 powers together and then raise euler's number to it, then multiply by 1300. Doing all of that, we get the amount at the end to be $1,655.10
