The video tutorial covers the multiplication and division of rational numbers, including fractions and integers. It explains the rules for these operations, such as using the reciprocal for division, and highlights the importance of sign rules. The tutorial also demonstrates converting mixed numbers to improper fractions and applying the distributive property. A real-world example involving movie posters illustrates the practical application of these concepts.
