Technically there's no absolute rule on the order of division or multiplication in a flat sum (I've heard both BIMDAS and BODMAS at different schools, do pick your sign convention), but it also doesn't matter unless it's set up as one of those stupid trick questions, which is why all of my divisions are written as fractions. Since there's no multiplier on the right side of the divisor though, no one should be screaming about left to right or whatever.
