Answer:

Multiplication

Explanation:

This looks like the equation for the area of a rectangle.

Area = Lenght * Width

Given that the "l" variable and the "w" variable or next to each other without '/' or '\' , then we can safely say this a multiplication operation.

If there is no symbol between variables, it is assumed to be short-hand for multiplication instead of writing '*', '.', or 'x' in-between the variables.

Cheers.
