    Every time you see one of these, know the intention is to be deliberately vague with notation so that the answer becomes ambiguous.

    There isn't a soul on this planet who uses the division symbol when representating anything serious mathematically...they would opt for fractional notation which includes implicit parenthesis that make the calculation unambiguous.

    You should associate the division symbol with this artificial ambiguity.
