Understanding Division of Fractions

The video tutorial explains how to divide one-third by five using a visual approach. It begins by suggesting drawing one-third of a whole and then dividing it into five equal sections. The instructor demonstrates this process by splitting a square into three equal parts, shading one-third, and further dividing it into five equal sections. This results in the whole being divided into 15 equal parts, making one-third divided by five equal to one-fifteenth.
