Answer:

The value of a tends to zero

Explanation:

Given the expression a = 3/b

as the denominator of the of the expression b increases the value of the output is known to be decreasing. if the value of b now goes so large to become an infinite, value then the value of a will goes to zero as shown;

If b = ∞

a = 3/∞

a = 0

Note that for any constant value a, the ratio a/∞ will always tends to zero
