Trip to the Amusement Park (Use the number lines to solve word problems involving subtraction of fractions with like and

The video tutorial explains how to find the difference between two distances using number lines. Billy and Peter's families travel different distances to an amusement park. The tutorial demonstrates how to represent these distances on number lines, find a common denominator, and calculate the difference. It also presents an alternative method using a single number line. The lesson focuses on subtracting fractions with unlike denominators.
