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
- Evaluate inside parentheses: \(2 2 = 4\)
- 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.
