Simplifying Expressions in Fraction Form

The video tutorial explains how to simplify expressions in fraction form by treating the fraction as having grouping symbols around the numerator and denominator. It details the process of simplifying the numerator and denominator separately using the order of operations. The tutorial then demonstrates how to simplify the entire fraction by recognizing common factors and dividing both the numerator and denominator. An alternative method is also shown, which involves simplifying the fraction step-by-step by identifying and dividing out common factors.
