Strange behaviour with parenthesis

I watched a video on youtube (maybe you already saw it) asking the result for the following expression: 60/5(7-5). The answer SpeedCrunch gave back to me was 6, which is wrong. As many other calculator confirm, the correct answer is 24. What is strange is that if you write the former equation like: 60/5*(7-5), SpeedCrunch gives back the right result. It seems that in the first case it interprets "/" as: all is on the left "/" all is on the right, but the two operations should give the same result, 24, as the multiplication sign is simply omitted in the first case.
