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)
