There is a standard for a÷b×c, and there is a standard for b(c) being underneath a fraction bar. However, there is no standard for a÷b(c).

The standard order of operations fails to address whether the b(c) is to be interpreted as b×c or (bc), and it also doesn't address whether or not ÷ acts as a fraction bar, which parenthesizes whatever is beyond it, which, in turn, would also make b(c) equivalent to (bc). There's a standard, but this problem shows that the standard isn't comprehensive enough to cover all cases.
