Dividing a Unit Fraction by a Whole Number Using the Number Line

The video tutorial explains how to solve a problem involving a relay race where Finn and his friends run a total distance of 1/2 mile. The problem is broken down into dividing the total distance by four, as each person runs an equal part. The solution is visualized using a number line, showing that each person runs 1/8 mile. The solution is verified by multiplying the quotient by the divisor to ensure it equals the original distance. The lesson concludes with a summary of dividing fractions by whole numbers using a number line.
