the way it’s written, according to the rules of math, it’s 8 divided by 2 which equals 4.
Then it’s four times (2+2), which makes it 16.
If the 2(2+2) were to be taken as one unit, then it would have been written as [2(2+2)] which would make it 8 divided by 8 equaling one.
Clarification......
8 / 2 X (2+2) = 4 X 4 = 16.
Otherwise it could have been written as as:
8 / [2(2+2)]
and then would be:
8 / [2x4] or 8/8 = 1.
It didn’t have the brackets so the answer should be 16 by the rule of order of operations.
