This works exactly as you are asking for:
<cfset A = 3>
<cfset B = 7>
<cfset C = A / B >
<cfoutput>
<br> #A# / #B# = #NumberFormat(C, "9999.99")#
</cfoutput>
<cfset D = 3>
<cfset E = 7>
<cfset F = (D * E)/2 >
<cfoutput>
<br> (#D# * #E#) / 2 = #NumberFormat(F, "9999.99")#
</cfoutput>
Try it out!

Um, no, don't use evaluate...
Look at the CF math functions (Functions, not Tags!)
<cfset A = 3>
<cfset B = 7>
<cfset C = A / B >
<cfoutput>
<br> A / B = #C#
</cfoutput>
