To determine if Frank's statement is correct, we need to compare the fractions of baseball cards in Missy's and Frank's collections.

First, let's find the fraction of baseball cards in Missy's collection. We are told that 5/7 of the cards in her collection are baseball cards.

Next, let's find the fraction of baseball cards in Frank's collection. We are told that 12/36 of the cards in his collection are baseball cards.

Now, we need to simplify both fractions to their simplest form and see if they are equal.

To simplify 5/7, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 1 in this case. So, the fraction remains the same: 5/7.

To simplify 12/36, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 12. Dividing 12 by 12 gives us 1, and dividing 36 by 12 gives us 3. Therefore, 12/36 simplifies to 1/3.

Now, we can compare the simplified fractions. We have 5/7 for Missy's collection and 1/3 for Frank's collection.

These fractions are not equivalent. Therefore, Frank's statement is incorrect.

In conclusion, Missy's and Frank's collections do not have the same fraction of baseball cards.
