If a chicken and a half can lay an egg and a half in a day and a half, how long does it take a centipede with a wooden leg to kick all of the seeds out of a dill pickle?
Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.

Perfectly structured Aristotelian syllogism ... NOT LOL.
Aristotle was a bore.

I'm surprised you folks didn't learn to Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally in middle school. Apply that, and it's easy. It's 16. Did it in my head in seconds, and I'm no math wiz. What's supposed to be hard about this problem? Why are people getting 1 as the answer?
They're doing all the multiplication, before the division. Not at the same time, left to right.
2(...) The 2 adjacent to the parentheses means 2 times (...). Explicitly written it's 2*(...)
The (2+2) "parentheses object" is 4.
So written out it's 8 / 2 * 4.
These operations are on the same footing, so are evaluated in order, left to right. 8/2 = 4, so now we have 4 * 4 = 16.
An earlier poster declaring "2 times 4" to be in the denominator effectively inserts parentheses that weren't there, as in 8/(2*4), or 8/(2(2+2)).
Rocket science eh...
No kidding.
A quick anecdote: Though retired I was asked to sit in on a meeting on a petro project with US, Norwegian, UK and Canadian involvement where as an icebreaker the guy in charge had the room of dozens of engineers of all disciplines, marine surveyors, geologists and the like take a piece of scrap paper and do this because he'd seen it on the internet. All but one derived the correct "16", and the one who didn't was a business development lady who was sitting in...she got "2"?? Seemed like the room was split as to whether this increased confidence in the diverse team and their educations from around the globe, with those who were somewhat amazed or insulted that the PM had brought it up in the first place.
You can no more tell someone how to do something you've never done, than you can come back from somewhere you've never been...
