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?
Total number of CDs = \(3 + 5 = 8 \) Number of CDs purchased = \(3\) Fraction of CDs purchased = \(\frac{3 }{8}\) Fraction of CDs received as gifts = \(\frac{5 }{8}\)
