This video tutorial explores how to multiply fractions using visual models. It begins with an introduction to the concept and demonstrates two examples. The first example uses a circle to show how to multiply three-quarters by two-thirds, resulting in one-half. The second example employs an area model to multiply three-fifths by three-quarters, yielding nine out of twenty. The video concludes with a summary of the methods discussed.

What does the denominator in a fraction represent when using visual models?

• The total number of parts the whole is divided into

• The number of parts taken

• The size of each part

• The shape of the model
