Exploring Operations with Rational Numbers

This video tutorial covers the four basic operations with rational numbers: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It explains how to handle fractions, including finding common denominators for addition and subtraction, and using the keep-change-flip method for division. The tutorial also demonstrates converting improper fractions to decimals and emphasizes the importance of simplifying fractions.
