People who work with numbers accept the convention that everything to the right of the division sign is the denominator. I never learned it as a "rule" it's just the way things are done in the technical world. If this equation was in a problem on an engineering exam and you got 288, you would fail the test. If you were designing an actuator for an airplane wing, the plane would crash.
I don't remember the third grade. Maybe if you were in the 3rd grade, you'd pass.
