Using Line Plots to Solve Multistep Problems

The video tutorial teaches how to solve multistep problems using line plots. It begins with an introduction to line plots and how to interpret data. The lesson then explains how to add fractions, using a practical example of building a barrier with objects measured in fractions of a foot. The tutorial demonstrates how to calculate the total length of objects and determine if they are sufficient for the task. Finally, it covers how to calculate the remaining length needed by converting whole numbers and mixed numbers to fractions.
