Interpreting Fractions of a Whole

The video tutorial explains how to calculate fractions of a number using counters. It demonstrates the process with two examples: finding 2/3 of 9 and 3/8 of 16. For each example, the total number is divided into equal groups, and the required fraction is determined by counting the items in the specified number of groups. This method provides a visual and practical approach to understanding fractions.
