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 = $9\frac{3}{8}$

y= $\frac{3}{5}x$

x + y ≤ 16

First, we can change the mixed fraction into improper fraction:

x = $\boxed {9\frac{3}{8} = \frac{((9 \times8)+3)}{8} = \frac{75}{8} }\\$

$\boxed {y= \frac{3}{5}x }\\\boxed {y = \frac{3}{5} \times\frac{75}{8} }\\\boxed {y = \frac{225}{40} = 5\frac{25}{40} = 5\frac{5}{8} }\\$

So now, we can calculate the total package:

$\boxed {x + y = 9\frac{3}{8} + 5\frac{5}{8} = 14\frac{8}{8} = 15 }$

The total package is 15 pounds, which is less than the maximum weight that she can send.
