Answer 1

⇒ Correct Question :-

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

⇒ Given :-

• Barbara received a CD player for her birthday,

• She bought 3 CDs and received 5 others as gift.

⇒ To Find :-

• What fraction of her total CDs did she buy and what fraction did she receive as gifts?​

⇒ Solution :-

• CDs bought by Barbara = 3

• CDs received as gift = 5

• Total CDs Barbara have = 3 + 5

                                                 = 8

• ∴ Fraction of CDs she bought = ${\bold{\sf{\frac{3}{8}}}}$

• ∴ Fraction of CDs received as gifts = ${\bold{\sf{\frac{5}{8}}}}$
