Answer:
3 3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume your intended question is ...
"Find the actual sum of 1 3/4 + 1 5/8 to determine how much David grew in two years. Explain ..." (Proper word choice and punctuation help communication.)
The sum of the two given mixed numbers can be found several ways. One way is to write the fractions using a common denominator:
1 3/4 + 1 5/8 = 1 6/8 + 1 5/8 = (1 +1) +(6/8 +5/8) = 2 + 11/8 = 3 3/8
David grew 3 3/8 in two years.

Both numbers are near and slightly more than 1.5, so their sum will be near and slightly more than 3.
B. Decreases
(Hopefully I’m right!)
Answer:
A(t) = amount remaining in t years
= A0ekt, where A0 is the initial amount and k is a constant to be determined.
Since A(1690) = (1/2)A0 and A0 = 80,
we have 40 = 80e1690k
1/2 = e1690k
ln(1/2) = 1690k
k = -0.0004
So, A(t) = 80e-0.0004t
Therefore, A(430) = 80e-0.0004(430)
= 80e-0.172
≈ 67.4 g
