If you just want an answer for it - because anything divided by zero is infinite. It can be put in such simple terms.

However, if you want somewhat logical explanation, you should understand what does division mean? Division means dividing some quantity of something (numerator) in equal parts.

Let us take an example of 1/2 (half). This means quantity of 1 is divided equally among 2.
Or similarly 1/4 or 1/3.

Same is the case with 1 or 2. If you have 2 chocolates, it can be said 2 chocolates are divided equally among 1, that's you, in this case. (2/1 = 2)

Now, the same happens when the denominator is zero. This means whatever is the quantity, is to be divided among 0, that is nothing.

Find the non permissible replacement for b in this expression for 1-7b?

In the expression (1 - 7b), the variable (b) can take any real number value. However, if you consider specific contexts or constraints, like if (b) were to be used in a division or square root operation later in an equation, a non-permissible value could arise. For instance, if (b = \frac{1}{7}), the expression (1 - 7b) equals zero, which could lead to a division by zero in subsequent calculations. Thus, without additional context, (b) does not inherently have a non-permissible value in just (1 - 7b).


How are the rules for multiplication and division of integers the same?

They are not the same. You can multiply by zero but division by zero is not defined.


What is 0 over 0?

The expression ( \frac{0}{0} ) is considered undefined in mathematics because it does not have a unique value. While both the numerator and denominator are zero, division by zero is not permissible, leading to ambiguity. In some contexts, such as calculus, it may be analyzed using limits, but as a standalone expression, it lacks a definitive answer.
