Understanding Fractions and Visual Representations

Tommy plans to study for his final exams by dedicating 1/5 of his weekend to studying. He needs to divide this time equally among four subjects. The video explains how to calculate the time spent on each subject by dividing 1/5 by 4, which is equivalent to multiplying by the reciprocal of 4.
