The video tutorial explains how to predict the product of a mixed number multiplied by a whole number using visual representations. It starts with a problem involving scaling a picture and reviews basic multiplication concepts. The tutorial then applies these concepts to solve the problem, using visual aids and decomposition to enhance understanding. It concludes by addressing common misunderstandings and reinforcing the idea that multiplying a mixed number by a whole number results in a product greater than the whole number factor.
