Product of Two Proper Fractions

The video tutorial explains how multiplying fractions results in a product smaller than the factors, using Corey's homework as an example. Corey multiplies 1/3 and 3/8, simplifies the result to 1/8, and learns why the product is smaller. The tutorial uses area models to visualize the concept and predicts the outcome of multiplying 1/2 and 8/9, showing that the product is less than the original fraction.
