The correct answer is ****
Explanation:
This problem involves order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).First, evaluate inside the parentheses: \(2 + 2 = 4).The expression becomes: \( ÷ 2(4)\).
Next, division and multiplication are of equal precedence and are evaluated from to right.So, first: \(8 ÷ 2 = 4\).
: \(4times4 = 16\
**Steps:**
1. parentheses: \(2 + 2 = 4\).
- Rewrite expression: \(8 ÷ 2 \times 4\).
- Perform: \(8 ÷ 2 = 4\).4. Perform multiplication:4 \times 4 = 16\).
Therefore, the final is 16.
