8 ÷ 2(2 + 2) = ?

Answer

The correct answer is: ****

**Explanation
This problem involves division multiplication, and parentheses. According to standard order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), we evaluate parentheses first, then multiplication and division from to right.

**Steps

  1. Evaluate inside parentheses: \(2 2 = 4\)
  2. Rewrite the expression \(8 \ 2(4)\
    . Division and are of equal precedence, we from left to right: First: \( \div = 4\)
  • Then: \( \times 4 = 16\)

Therefore, the expression equals 16.
