Kristin received a CD player for her birthday. She bought 3 CDs and received 5 others as gifts. What fraction of her total CDs did she buy and what fraction did she receive as gifts?

Solution:

 We will be using the concept of fractions to determine what fraction of Kristin’s total CDs she bought and what fraction she received as gifts.

The total number of CDs Kristin has = CDs she bought + CDs she received as a birthday gift.

Thus, total number of CDs = 3 + 5 = 8.

The fraction of CDs bought by Kristin = Number of CDs she bought / Total number of CDs.

Thus, the fraction of CDs she bought = 3 / 8.

The Fraction of CDs she received as a birthday gift = Number of CDs she received as gifts / Total number of CDs.

Hence, the fraction of CDs she received as gifts = 5 / 8.
