Dividing Mixed Numbers with Cross Cancellation

The video tutorial by Mr. J explains how to divide mixed numbers using cross cancellation. It begins with converting mixed numbers to improper fractions, followed by the keep, switch, flip method for dividing fractions. The tutorial highlights the use of cross cancellation to simplify fractions before multiplication, making calculations easier. The final section covers converting the result back to a mixed number and provides additional tips on when cross cancellation can be applied.
