Changes (by quozl):

  * type:  defect => enhancement


Comment:

 I agree, the activity could make a reasonable attempt to express division
 by zero as infinite result without precision.

 The activity is currently designed to render this result as an error; it
 is working correctly.  So I'm changing this ticket to an enhancement.

 I think we would welcome pedagogical input from a teacher in math, on how
 infinity should be rendered.
