Then the answer is straightforward - 0
When a numerator is zero it means that the value of the fraction is also 0.
For example: there are 0/4 pieces of pie
The numerator is 0 (the top number)
The denominator is 4 (the bottom number)
The value of the fraction is 0 because the numerator is zero (there are no pieces of pie)

When the numerator is the same as the denominator what happens?
The fraction reduces to 1 - UNLESS they are both zero, in which case the fraction is undefined.
If zero divided by zero is undefined then how is zero divided by a whole number is zero?
if there is 0 in the numerator it is zero regardless. But if it's zero in the denominator and zero in the numerator then it is undefined in all such cases where the denominator equals zero.
A fraction with a zero in the numerator equals what?
zero.
Can you get zero when you divide the numerator of an improper fraction by the denominator?
Yes, it is possible to get zero when dividing the numerator of an improper fraction by the denominator. This would occur when the numerator is already zero, regardless of the value of the denominator. In this case, the result of the division would be zero.
How do you invert the numerator and denominator?
Provided the numerator is not zero, simply swap them.
