Multiplying a Whole by a Fraction

The video tutorial explains how whole numbers can be expressed as fractions by placing them over 1. It introduces a problem involving Mrs. Williams' class, where 3/4 of the students are right-handed. The tutorial demonstrates how to calculate a fraction of a whole number by multiplying fractions, using the example of finding 3/4 of 20. The process involves expressing 20 as a fraction, multiplying numerators and denominators, and interpreting the result as division to find the number of right-handed students. The lesson concludes with a recap of the multiplication process to find fractions of whole numbers.
