Multiplying Whole Numbers by Fractions Using Repeated Addition Models

The video tutorial explains how to multiply whole numbers by fractions using repeated addition models. It begins by introducing multiplication as repeated addition with whole numbers, using examples like 3 * 4. The tutorial then demonstrates multiplying whole numbers by fractions through practical examples, such as Drew making lemonade and Kyle feeding his hamster. In each case, the repeated addition model is used to find the product, illustrating that the product can be smaller than one of the factors. The lesson concludes by reinforcing the concept of using repeated addition to multiply whole numbers by fractions.

What is the product of 7 * 2/3, and how did Kyle determine this amount?
