No because they are not following the same rule
The method is to multiply
49*4=196+1=197/4
<span>8*3=24+3=27/8 </span>
<span>then make the denominator the same</span>
<span>multiply 197*2 and 4*2 = 394/8 </span>
<span>then 394/8 +27/8 =421/8 </span>
<span>u can either leave it here or in decimal form which would be 52.625 or in mixed numbers-52 5/8</span>
The correct answer is the last choice.
In a compound interest equation, the first value is the initial investment. In this case, it would be 5000. After the 5000, you would enter the rate that is being used.
