Answer:

The two fractions could be
(32)/(10) and
(48)/(15).

Explanation:

The fractions given and required are called equivalent fractions.

Given
3(1)/(5) , and we can express it as
(16)/(5) when converted to an improper fraction.

i.e
3(1)/(5) =
(16)/(5)

The two mixed numbers that would have a quotient of
3(1)/(5) can be determined by multiplying both the denominator and numerator by the same number.

If we multiply the numerator and denominator of
(16)/(5) by 2, we have
(32)/(10) which has the same quotient as the initial fraction.

Also, multiplying the numerator and denominator of
(16)/(5) by 3 would give
(48)/(15); which has the same quotient as the given fraction.

The required fractions are:
(32)/(10) and
(48)/(15).
