Answer:

1.4 and 4.6

Explanation:

In the number line there are two numbers possible which are at same distance from a number.

One number is greater than the number while the second number is less than the number.

Let a and b are the numbers which are 1.6 unit far from 3,

Where, a > 3 and b < 3

Distance from 3 to a = a - 3

While the distance from 3 to b = 3 - b

According to the question,

a - 3 = 1.6 and 3 - b = 1.6

a = 4.6 and b = 3 - 1.6 = 1.4

Hence, 4.6 and 1.4 are 1.6 unit far from 3.
