Dividing Fractions by Dividing Across Numerators and Denominators

The video tutorial explains how to divide fractions using the concept of divisibility. It begins with an introduction to divisibility using whole numbers, followed by examples of dividing fractions using the 'divide across' strategy. The tutorial includes practical examples, such as filling water dishes and making bracelets, to illustrate the method. It also highlights the limitations of this strategy when numerators and denominators are not divisible, suggesting that other strategies may be more efficient in such cases.
