    The correct answer would be 10 right?

    40 × 0.25 = 10

    There is no plus in there and empty space turns into a multiplication by default.

      Yes, but no. That notation is the dumbest one ever. Everywhere else a juxtaposition implies multiplication, except for fractions with integers to the left.
