Yes, you have interpreted correctly. Valerie advised me to put the A*R in parentheses to make it even more clear that the R/12 is not a fraction, rather it is division of A*R. I think you have all answered my question very well. Basically, do not put spaces around the *, but do put spaces around the =. (A*R)/12 = w Thanks a lot! -- Doug -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mayrie ReNae Sent: Sunday, June 27, 2010 9:13 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: formatting mathematical formulas HI Doug, If I'm interpreting your equation correctly, it looks fine to me as is. Is it to be interpreted verbally as: A times r over (divided by) Twelve equals W If that is the intended verbalization, I think it's perfect as you have it. Just my opinion.

Particular, should you leave a space before and after the * in multiplication, and also should you have a space for an after an = ? I don't know how these come out in braille readers and screen readers. A*R/12 = w How would you format the above equation?
