Applying Multiplication and Division of Fractions in Construction

This video tutorial covers various construction-related calculations, including solving for volume, dividing fractions to determine the number of OSB strips from a panel, and calculating both individual step height and total staircase height. The tutorial emphasizes practical applications of these calculations in construction projects.
