Fraction Operations and Simplification

The video tutorial explains how to simplify a mathematical expression using the order of operations. It begins with finding a common denominator for fractions, specifically focusing on the least common multiple. The tutorial then demonstrates how to simplify fractions, divide by a fraction using the reciprocal, and multiply fractions while ensuring the result is in its simplest form. The lesson concludes with a simplified expression and a brief summary.
