Representing Remainders as Fractions (Part 2)

The video tutorial explains how to divide 33 cookies among six people, resulting in each person receiving 5 whole cookies and a remainder of 3 cookies. Instead of discarding the remainder, the video demonstrates how to split the leftover cookies into halves, allowing each person to receive an additional 1/2 cookie. This process is shown as converting the remainder into a fraction, specifically 3/6, which simplifies to 1/2. The tutorial concludes by summarizing the method of representing remainders as fractions.
