PEMDAS tells me the answer is one. 2+2=4, 4*2=8, 8/8=1



(For non-mathies, PEMDAS is the order of operations for math functions: First is whatever's in Parantheses, then Exponents, Multiplacation, Division, Addition, then lastly Subtraction.)

Once you evaluate the parentheses, you go left to right. 16

After you do the parentheses, you go left to right so,

8/2*(2+2)=

8/2*4=

4*4= 16

I thought you solved the parenthesis first, so the answer would be 1.

8÷2x (2+2)

8÷2x4

8÷8=1

Why did you do multiplication before division? That was your mistake.
