Equivalent Fractions and Number Lines

This video tutorial teaches how to place fractions on a number line. It begins with placing fractions with the same denominator, then moves to finding the least common denominator for fractions with different denominators. The tutorial concludes with an advanced example involving multiple wholes, demonstrating how to convert and place fractions accurately on a number line.
