You can do this by pressing the right Alt key and then the "+" sign. There are also other characters that you can make using this way.

Answer 2

"/"

If you wanted to say 10 divided by 5 equals 2.
you would write on a keyboard "10 / 5 = 2"

Answer 3

Most modern computer languages, formula editors (such as in spreadsheets) or calculator software use the forward slash "/" to represent division.

If this is something you want to make look like a real "division" mark, such as in textbooks, you can either use a font which has the character and add it (if using Windows, you can use the "Character Map" applet [Start... Programs... Accessories... System Tools... Character map]). Another option is to use a specific mathematical software package, such as MathCad, Mathematica or an Open Source project which can handle formula editing.

I'm not sure which above applies in your case.
