Multiplying Fractions by Whole Numbers using Bar Models

The video tutorial teaches how to multiply fractions by whole numbers using bar models. It begins with an introduction to the concept, explaining that multiplying a whole number by a fraction can be visualized as dividing the whole into equal parts. The tutorial provides two examples: Caitlyn's oranges and Jennifer's roses, demonstrating the process of dividing items into groups and calculating the result. The video emphasizes understanding the multiplication of fractions through visual representation and repeated addition.
