however 0/8 is defined. . . if you had zero slices of pizza and divided that quanitly of zero among eight folks, then everyone gets zero.

if we look at things graphically it make sense, treating the ration as rise to run. if you go up 0 for any value you go sideways. . . then you don't go up at all for any other value, 0/8 = 0/9 = 0/10 , but if you go up any value and don't go up sideways at all , how much do you really go up? draw a line going upwart at the instant of zero. . . and it can go upward infinitly and still not progress to another x value. . the y component versus the x component is infinite . . . an undefiend number.
