hspace by percentage of column width? [closed]
How can one space things horizontally, not by a fixed amount but rather than by a percentage of the column width? I want something akin to
$$
Ahspace{20%}Bhspace{20%}C
$$
instead of
$$
Ahspace{1.5in}Bhspace{1.5in}C
$$
(Searched on this and didn't find anything.)
My intended use is MathJax in Google Colab, i.e. web pages that may have variable widths. I suppose in regular LaTeX I could calculate some auxiliary variables, like spacewidth = 0.4*textwidth and then use hspace{spacewidth}, but I haven't been able to get MathJax to calculate auxiliary variables.
...I suppose what I'm doing is akin to a one-row table, so perhaps I could use a table instead of hspace. Same question applies: how to control the width on a percentage basis?
EDIT: For the purposes of reproduction, I created a simple Google Colab notebook to test this out.

@PhelypeOleinik Thanks, but that does not render. MathJax just prints the code as is.$$Ahspace{0.2columnwidth}Bhspace{0.2columnwidth}C$$Also adding "*"'s for the multiplication won't render either.

I fear MathJax is off-topic here. While its syntax looks like TeX, it does not have anything to do with it.

Apparently MathJax doesn't know what acolumnwidthis, so it is not possible. From the very little I know of MathJaX, it does not contain a proper “page” which can be used as a reference, so this type of relative measure is not possible. If I putmeaningcolumnwidthin that notebook you shared I get it rendered in red, so I guess that it does not exist (neither doesmeaning). Either way, it's off-topic for the reason campa said. I suggest you use StackOverflow ;)
