Rational Numbers and Their Operations

This video tutorial covers Module 2 Lesson 15, focusing on the multiplication and division of rational numbers. It extends the rules for multiplying and dividing integers to rational numbers, providing exercises to apply these concepts in real-world scenarios. The video explains the rules for multiplying and dividing rational numbers, emphasizing that they are similar to those for integers. Exercises are provided to reinforce understanding, and a problem set concludes the lesson.
