minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink13•7 months agoNo there is no clear right answer because it is ambiguous. You would never seen it written that way. Does it mean A÷[(B)©] or A÷B*C
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•edit-27 months agoIt means A ÷ B(C) which is equivalent to A ÷ (B*C) I literally just explained this. The Parenthesis takes priority over multiplication and division outright. Maybe B*C = B(C) But A ÷ B(C) =! A ÷ B * C
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•edit-27 months agoNo. It’s ambiguous. In a math book or written by anyone that actually uses math, you don’t have a “%” You group stuff below the line, and you use parens and brackets to group things like (a + b) and (x)(y) so that it is not ambiguous. 2/xy would be almost always interpreted differently than 2/x(x+y) which is ambiguous and could mean (2/x)(x+y) or 2/[(x)(x+y)]
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•7 months agoYou continue to say it’s ambiguous, but the most commonly used convention on earth very clearly prioritizes parenthesis. It is not ambiguous.

It means
A ÷ B(C) which is equivalent to A ÷ (B*C)
