Detailed Solution

Given that, Kristin, got a CD player on the occasion of her birthday. She got 5 CDs as gifts and bought 3 from outside.
Here, the fraction will be represented by the ratio of CDs she bought or got as gifts by the total number of CDs she had.
Total number of CDs she had = CDs she bought + CDs she got as a gift
Where CDs she bought = 3
And, CDs she got as a gift = 5
Thus, the total number of CD’s she had =3+5
                                                                =8
Hence,
The fraction of CD’s bought = 3 8
The fraction of CD’s gifted = 5 8
So, option 1 is correct.
