Answer: The third choice is the correct one : Emily has a greater fraction of country music than Imani.
Explanation: For Emily: 18 out of 24 of the CDs are country music. This means that the ratio is 3/4 which greater then 1/2
For Imani: 5 out of 8 of the CDs are country music This means that the ratio is 5/8 which is also greater than 1/2
Now, let's check the choices: First choice: <span>Half of each CD collection consists of country music. </span>This choice is wrong as we have noted that the ratio for both is greater than 1/2
Second choice: <span>less than half of each CD collection consists of country music. </span>This choice is wrong as we have noted that the ratio for both is greater than 1/2
Third choice: <span>Emily has a greater fraction of country music than Imani. </span>Emily - Imani = 3/4 - 5/8 = 1/8 This means that Emily has more country music than Imani Therefore, this choice is correct
Fourth choice: <span>Imani has greater fraction of country music than Emil. </span>This choice is wrong as we have noted in the third option that Emily has a larger fraction.
Based on the above: The third choice is the correct one.
