If the denominator is 0 then the fraction is undefined.

yes and no because if it zero wouldn't it be a whole number or a improper fraction with a 1 under the numerator
It is not defined.
Not allowed! The operation "divide by zero" is not defined. However, in the limit, as the denominator of a fraction approches zero, the quotient approached infinity. In other words, the result gets larger and larger the closer the denominator gets to zero. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Another thing to consider is the recipical of Y=2/X. YX=2 is an equivative of Y=X\2. But you know that any number multiplied by 0 is 0. If X is 0 in the equation the two variables could not equal 2.
When the numerator is equal to the denominator it equals 1 if the numerator is greater than the denominator then you could change it to a mixed number like 3/2 equals 1 1/2
Oh, dude, let me break it down for you. So, the ratio 2 to 5 is not equal to the ratio 5 to 2. It's like saying you have 2 pizzas for every 5 friends, which is not the same as saying you have 5 pizzas for every 2 friends. See what I mean? It's all about the order, man.
