In math class, not true.
In astronomy or physics class, maybe true.
1/0 is undefined, meaning that it is not any real number. Infinity is not a real number, so 1/0 cannot be infinity.
But 1/x as x becomes very small increases without bound. In a practical science class, we might assign "infinity" to this result (depending on where the 1 and 0 came from), even though infinity is not a real number. We use it as shorthand to mean "hugely bigger than anything in this problem."

No, Because I like apple
simply distribute 10 apples among 5 students in the class. 10/5=2
Now distribute 1 apple among no students in the class. 1/0= how many apple left one. So technically it shoud be equal to 1 not infinity.

False. Zero is not infinity, zero is nothing.
ex: 1/0=zero=a value not positive or negative, but completely "neutral."
NOT - 1/0=infinity=a number ceasing to end.

1/0 is undefined
that means impossible, not infinity

It's the empty set. (ø)
The empty set is a set (of numbers) with no real numbers in it. Anything divided by 0 is the empty set.

Anything divided by zero is called an irrational number since zero won't go into anything any times... it just doesn't make sense.
