Hi math gurus,

I should typeset a couple of simple math formulae. However I do not get the desired result. I attach my output as pdf.

1. Why is the \times 12 in the denominator although the fraction is grouped? — I tried also the grouping with bracis, which gives the same result. 2. Why is the result after the equalsign in the denominator?

Thank you for hinting me how to this correctly.

Have you tried using \frac{...}{...} instead of {... \over ...} Aditya
