Sagot :

zero isnt a positive or a negative number, so you cannot multiply or divide a number that is not there because it is considered an undefined number

Answer with explanation:

Equivalent fraction or equivalent ratios are one which may look different but are same numbers i.e.  by multiplying or dividing a fraction by a same non -zero number we obtain a fraction equivalent to the given fraction.

  • A non-zero number is multiplied in the numerator and denominator since, the expression [tex]\dfrac{0}{0}[/tex] is a undetermined term in mathematics.

Hence, we cannot multiply or divide by zero to find equal ratios.
