The video tutorial explains how to evaluate the expression 9/2 * X * 12 when X equals 1/4. It demonstrates using the associative property of multiplication to simplify calculations, resulting in a final answer of 27/2 or 13 1/2 as a mixed number. An alternative method is also shown, confirming the same result.
