The video tutorial explains how to divide fractions by converting the division into multiplication using the reciprocal of the divisor. It demonstrates this process with the example of 3/5 divided by 1/2, resulting in 6/5, which is then converted into the mixed number 1 and 1/5. The tutorial further clarifies why dividing by a fraction is equivalent to multiplying by its reciprocal through a visual example using objects, reinforcing the concept that dividing by 1/2 is the same as multiplying by 2.
