Re: How do I multiply fractions that have 0 numerators?
well, you can't really. 0 divided by 18 is 0, as there are 'no 18's in 0'
So if the outcome of 0/18 is 0, then the outcome of the whole multiplication is 0, as anything multiplied by 0 is 0.

Re: How do I multiply fractions that have 0 numerators?
Daniel is right. If a fraction's numerator is 0, then the fraction is equal to 0 and so multiplying anything by it will still get you 0.
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

And if the denominator is 0, almost the same rule applies; Just not exactly the same. Never divide by 0.
