The answer is 1, why is everyone a delinquent?

Y'all please, learn your pemdas (or bodmas or whatever you learned it as)

It's 16

*sigh*

Parentheses equation is 2+2, which is 4.

Now we multiply by 2 to get 4x2 which is 8

8 DIVIDED BY 8 is 1.

I have no fucking clue how you can get 16 out of this. I don’t think you’re bad at math, I think you just need glasses.

It’s 1.

It’s 16.

8 / 2 * (2+2) = 

8/2 * (4) = 

4*4 = 16

You do the parentheses, then you go left to right.

That isn’t how this works.....

PEMDAS

8/2*(2+2) (P = Parentheses)

8/2*(4) (M = Multiply)

8/8=1 (D = Division)

Use Mathpapa calculator if you still don’t believe me.

No, Riley.

M isn't in the original problem but 8÷2 still needs a resolution. You have to solve 8÷2 as-is after (2+2) no matter what.

So you're not following PEMDAS by factoring x4 into 8÷2.

It's literally this simple.

I, uh, I think it’s 1, actually.

Plug it into a searchbar, or a scientific calculator that waits until the whole thing is input & that's the answer.

No need.

This is something I've learnt the hard way. (Please excuse me if I have written something wrong, English is not my mother language)

1. Your phone calculator is not scientific. It's for basic operations, what you need is a real scientific calculator like the one in my image.

2. PEMDAS IS PEMDAS, Math never changes.

galaxylemonade

I'm literally getting a headache people are so stupid it's 1, this person is right PEMDAS is PEMDAS and the answer is 1

yourladyindank

Nah it’s 16

undiagnosedmetalrusting

im pretty sure that's not right key

yourladyindank

I mean if you can show me why sure but my professor and I are pretty sure this is correct

It’s 1

The 2 gets multiplied by the 2+2 before it divides the 8
