93/8 is equal to 11.625 or 11.6 pounds, which means yes, she can send the package. The other packages weighed 6.96 or 7 pounds in short just in case you needed to know that ;)
Yes, Tiffany will be able to send the package, as the total package she has is 15 pounds.
Further Explanation
Let's say that:
Book package is x
Other package is y
so from the problem above we get:
x = [tex]9\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
y= [tex]\frac{3}{5}x[/tex]
x + y ≤ 16
First, we can change the mixed fraction into improper fraction:
x = [tex]\boxed {9\frac{3}{8} = \frac{((9 \times8)+3)}{8} = \frac{75}{8} }\\[/tex]
[tex]\boxed {y= \frac{3}{5}x }\\\boxed {y = \frac{3}{5} \times\frac{75}{8} }\\\boxed {y = \frac{225}{40} = 5\frac{25}{40} = 5\frac{5}{8} }\\[/tex]
So now, we can calculate the total package:
[tex]\boxed {x + y = 9\frac{3}{8} + 5\frac{5}{8} = 14\frac{8}{8} = 15 }[/tex]
The total package is 15 pounds, which is less than the maximum weight that she can send.
