Converting and Multiplying Fractions

In this video, Mr. J explains how to multiply and divide mixed numbers. The process involves converting mixed numbers to improper fractions. For multiplication, you multiply the numerators and denominators directly. For division, you use the 'keep, switch, flip' method, which involves keeping the first fraction, switching the division sign to multiplication, and flipping the second fraction to its reciprocal. The video provides step-by-step examples for both operations, ensuring clarity in the conversion and calculation processes.
