Is it the question with this code?
int a = 3;
int b = 2;
double c = 3.5;
double y = a / b * c;
The division and multiplication will be done left to right.
You have
double y = 3 / 2 * 3.5;
Since a and b are both integers, integer division will be performed and the result would be 1. The decimal is truncated.
Then you have 1 * 3.5 and the answer would be 3.5
