in maths what does of mean is it times or divide

"of" means times. So if the question asks for 3/4 of 60, you want to work out 3/4 x 60 which is the same as working out (3 x 60) and then dividing the answer by 4. So the answer would be 45.

But that makes no sense grammatically. If you want to know what three fourths OF 60 is, you'd divide. I know that's not how you work the problem, but if you are speaking english, that's what "of" means.
