Exploring Proper and Improper Fractions

Professor Dave explains fractions, starting with basic division concepts and moving to practical examples using pizza slices. He covers equivalent fractions, comparing fractions with different denominators, and converting improper fractions to mixed numbers. The video concludes with a real-life application of these concepts in a pizza ordering scenario.
