It simplifies to me giving you a 0 and moving on to the next student

It doesnt simplify to anything because it's not standard mathematical notation.

It's sqrt(64/17) which simplifies to 8/sqrt(17). I don't know how the fuck you got anything else. Use Wolfram alpha to confirm that you are a fucking retard.

You are both very mistaken, because that fraction is ambiguous, which means the only correct interpretation of OP's image is "what the fuck do you mean".

poor syntax since one can't tell which fraction takes priority.
either one fraction bar should be wider than the other, or one fraction should be in brackets

Personally i say 4sqrt(17)/17 but i'm also pretty leftbrained

Bottom of the bottom is the top. Dividing a fraction by two is the same as multiplying the numerator by two. You should be able to prove this with high school algebra. If you can't then you need to review and practice your fundamentals.

32/17/2 is to be read as (32/17)/2 and not as 32/(17/2), so it's 4sqrt(17)/17

write it in a better notation, if the answer is ambiguous you've failed as the creator of the question

neither because the sqrt of 17 does not exist

To input this into Wolfram Alpha requires making a choice of how to parse the ambiguous fraction. So it confirms nothing.

It's sqrt(32/(17/2)). It's difficult but not impossible to parse.

That simplifies to 8√(17)/17.

Were the bars the exact same width, there would be a problem, but they aren't.

Because to the mathematically illiterate, it looks like a hole in our understanding of math that is simple enough that they can contribute to it.

Bitches can't tell 32/17⁄2 from 32⁄17/2.

Division is not associative but you give no clear indication of precedence.

Who cares? Nobody writes a fraction like that without at least making one fraction line smaller or using some parentheses
What does

It literally does though? As written it can be mathematically interpreted.

I'm not speaking on the intent of the creator, but of the lines themselves.
