You're implying that LtoR the 3 is a whole number, but RtoL it's a fraction
There is no "implying" here. It's three whole numbers which, when worked one way, get one result and when worked the opposite way, get another.

Those aren't the same equations

12/2 *3 =18
Then
1/3 * 12/2 = 2

- No, because you that's not how math works. If an equation is written properly, then it doesn't matter which way you go. You can't claim the equation shows a 3 one way and 1/3 the other, then it's not the same equation. I get that you're arguing syntax, but I guess that's my whole argument...if an equation is written properly, then it doesn't matter which way you go. So, maybe we're arguing the same thing?
