Ada Jordan · Answer 1

To solve this, you need to simplify 8/12

in order to simplify a fraction, you divide both the top and bottom by the same number.

8 and 12 are both divisible by 4, so you get

2/3

2/3 and 3/4 are not the same fraction, so no. Frank is not correct.

Thompson · Answer 2

No he is incorrect because Missy's collection has more.
