Mastering Multiplication and Division of Positive Rational Numbers

This video tutorial covers the sixth-grade concept of multiplying and dividing positive rational numbers, focusing on decimals and fractions. It explains how to multiply decimals by ignoring the decimal points initially and adjusting them later. The tutorial also covers dividing decimals by removing the decimal from the divisor and adjusting the dividend accordingly. Finally, it explains multiplying fractions using the term 'of' to mean multiplication.
