I didn't forget anything.Forgot the "s".
BUZZER PEMDAS gets you the same correct answer if you implement PEMDAS correctly...There are 2 correct answers depending on where you learned math. PEMDAS results in "1", BODMAS results in 16.
Viral math problem baffles many on Internet: Can you solve 8÷2(2+2)?
“8÷2(2+2).” Can you solve this math problem? The equation went viral online this week on Twitter causing major confusion as to its answer.www.foxnews.com
Where did you (4) magically become (2)??8 / 2 (2+2)=
- Parentheses (simplify inside 'em)
- Exponents
- Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
- Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
1, simplify what is in the parenthesis first.
8 / 2 (4) =
3a (divide)
4 (2) =
3b Multiply
8
Only ONE right answer, it can't be solved differently to come to another correct answer..I learned it so that the answer comes out as "16." Didn't realize that it could be solved differently. Interesting to see how "1" could be the answer.
Learned something (still like the method that yields "16," though).
Thanks!

That would be "16," right? (Please let it be so; otherwise I'm gonna sue my school district!)Only ONE right answer, it can't be solved differently to come to another correct answer..
Np, according to the rules, multiplication and division are the same priority, operate left to right.Wait, there's a method that yeilds 16? Division first, then addition, then mutliplication?
Parens - 2+2 =4
Exponenets - none of these
Multiplication - 2 x 4 = 8
Division - 8 /8 = 1
Addition -already did that back in Parens
Subtraction - none of this.
I just saw that,Where did you (4) magically become (2)??
- Parentheses (simplify inside 'em)
- 8 / 2 (2+2)= 8 / 2 (4)
- Exponents
- Noop
- Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
- 8 / 2 (4) = 4 (4)
- 4 (4) = 16
- Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
- Noop
Yes 16That would be "16," right? (Please let it be so; otherwise I'm gonna sue my school district!)
But if your assertion is correct - that's there's only one correct answer - why so much debate?

Throw away the sharp because it isn't
Easy as quantum physics!So the correct solution is:
Anything you want it to be.
You would think this would have been resolved by Archimedes and no longer an issueSo the correct solution is:
Anything you want it to be.
