Mastering Multiplication and Division of Fractions

This video tutorial covers the basics of multiplying and dividing fractions. It explains how to multiply fractions by multiplying the numerators and denominators separately and provides examples, including how to handle mixed numbers by converting them to improper fractions. The video also introduces dividing fractions by flipping the second fraction and changing the operation to multiplication, followed by examples. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the key points discussed.
