If a fraction simplifies to 0, what, if anything can you conclude about its numerator? What, if anything, can you conclude about its denominator?
A.) Numerator can be anything, denominator is 0.
B.) Numerator is 0, denominator is not 0.
C.) Numerator is 0, denominator is 1.
D.) Numerator is 0, denominator is 0.

since a denominator of 0 essentially means an undefined or infinite result, denominator can not be 0

numerator is 0 if fraction simplifies to 0

possible answers:
B.) Numerator is 0, denominator is not 0. (0 divided by non-zero is 0)
C.) Numerator is 0, denominator is 1. (0/1 is 0)

B.) is better answer, without knowing what denominator is, this is most likely
