In high school (and college) I've always been taught that multiplication and division have equal precedence and should be evaluated in the order in which they are encountered.
- baddox 14y agoWas multiplication by juxtaposition ever mentioned explicitly? I was taught to give them equal precedence, but that was explicitly for the division symbol and the multiplication symbol (* or x). Juxtaposition, like 2x or 2(2+1), was always considered to have greater precedence than the division and multiplication symbols.
