It does not matter. When theres the issue of multiplication and division being right next to eachother proceed from left to right. Therefore 8 divided by 2 and then multiplication by the 4. --- Interviewer: "You're not even a superhero you're more of a vampire slayer."

We have to simplify the parentheses first, and the 2 is attached to that Im a math major I know what Im doing Might want to rethink your major then.. as others have stated the answer is 16.. 8/2(2+2) = 8/24 = 44 = 16. if the problem was written as 8/(2(2+2)) then it would be 1. PEMDAS => Parentheses (2+2), then exponents(none), then Multiply/Division (left to right - 8/24), then Add/Subtract(left to right - none in this case).
