8 ÷ 2(2 + 2) = ?

Answer

  • Answer

The correct is: 16

Explanation
This problem order of operations, often remembered by PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)).
First, evaluate inside the parentheses: 2 +2 = \).
Then, the expression becomes: \( 8 \div 2(4) \).
According the order of, and multiplication are of equal priority and are performed from left to right.
, first divide: \( 8 \div 2 = \).
Then multiply: \( 4 \times 4 = 16 \).

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

  1. Rewrite: \( 8 \div 2 \times 4).
    3. Perform from to right: \( \div 2 =4 \).
  2. Multiply: \( 4 \times 4 = 16 \).

Therefore, the answer 16
