Understanding Mixed Numbers and Fractions Greater than One

The video tutorial explains the concept of mixed numbers and their connection to improper fractions, referred to as fractions greater than one. It uses a real-life scenario involving leftover pizza slices to illustrate the conversion between improper fractions and mixed numbers. The tutorial demonstrates how to decompose fractions into unit fractions and determine the number of whole units. It concludes by showing the equivalence between 11/8 and 1 3/8, confirming both Daniel and his mom's calculations.
