Understanding Fractions

The video tutorial covers the basics of fractions, including definitions, examples, and how to identify numerators and denominators. It explains equivalent fractions and how to create them using multiplication and division. The tutorial also demonstrates simplifying fractions to their lowest terms and ordering them in ascending order. Finally, it provides steps for adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators.
