"To", "over" and "or" are not at all valid in the same contexts. They have different meanings! Even in mathematics, there is room for ambiguity: you have to agree with the author on which notation is in use, because it's not always the same. For example x is often used to represent a cross-product, rather than multiplication.

When people say things like, "We have a 50/50 partnership," it seems more like a stock phrase than a mathematical expression. | |
