8 ÷ 2(2 + 2) = ?

8 ÷ 2(2 + 2) = ?

Answer

correct is: 16

Explanation:**
This problem involves the of operations (PEMDAS/BMAS).
First, evaluate inside the parentheses: \(2 + 2 = 4\).
The expression becomes: \(8 ÷ 2(4)\
Next, according to the order of operations, division and multiplication of equal precedence and are from left to right.
So, first divide: \(8 ÷ 2 = 4\).Then: \(4 \times 4 16\).

Steps:**
. Evaluate parentheses \(2 + 2 = 4\).

  1. Rewrite: \(8 ÷ 2 \times \).
  2. Perform division: \(8 ÷ 2 =4).
    4. Perform multiplication: \(4 \times4 = 16\).

Therefore, the answer is 16.
