Gavin's Pool (Divide rational numbers in a real-world example)

The video tutorial explains rational numbers as fractions of two integers, focusing on negative fractions. It uses a real-world example of a pool's water level to illustrate different expressions of negative rates. The lesson concludes by showing that different forms of expressing rates are equivalent, enhancing understanding of rational numbers.
