Depends on culture and level of education. For someone who comes from a culture where we use decimals, I’d interpret this in the math/physics class way, i.e. 10.
Might be. I’ve never seen it used that way, though, I know that some people prefer parentheses around the fraction to the right of integers.
I learned at grade/primary school, it’s useful as a teaching tool for fractions. Although, I do recall using something similar for partial fractions in college.
That said, even Wolframalpha appears to disagree, which I find mildly funny if what you say is true.
Yes, but no. That notation is the dumbest one ever. Everywhere else a juxtaposition implies multiplication, except for fractions with integers to the left.
The correct answer would be 10 right?
40 × 0.25 = 10
There is no plus in there and empty space turns into a multiplication by default.
No, that’s a way to represent a fraction’s integer part.

Yes, with no previous context or warning I would assume the same, but regardless, the notation exists.

EDIT: Just realized something even more damning. If you input it into Wolframalpha using math input, it just assumes addition (lol). Yeah, I might have to read up on this.

In wolfram alpha they call it mixed fraction or number.
