The video tutorial explains how to multiply fractions using a number line. It starts by revisiting the concept of multiplying a fraction by a whole number and then extends it to multiplying two fractions. The example used is 3/4 times 1/2, which is visualized on a number line. The tutorial demonstrates how to divide the number line into equal sections to find 3/4 of 1/2, resulting in 3/8. An alternative method is also shown, visualizing 1/2 of 3/4, which leads to the same result. The video aims to make the concept of multiplying fractions more intuitive and understandable.
