Understanding Division by Fractions

The video tutorial explains how to divide whole numbers by fractions, specifically tenths and hundredths. It demonstrates the process using examples like 2 divided by 1/10 and 7 divided by 1/10, showing that dividing by a fraction is equivalent to multiplying by its reciprocal. The tutorial also covers the concept of expressing numbers in terms of tenths and hundredths to simplify division. Through these examples, a pattern emerges: dividing by a fraction results in multiplying by the reciprocal, which is further illustrated by dividing 6 by 1/100.
