8/2(4)
According to PEMDAS you need to get rid of parathenses first so
2(4)=8
8/8=1 answer is one.

step1- bracket
step2- indice
step3- multi/divide
step4- add/sub
8/2(2+2)
step1-bracket
8/2(2+2)
=8/2(4)
OH!!
But you still have parenthesis. While PEMDAS works from left to right your not considering one of the most important things in math. You can’t not do anything if you don’t get rid of parenthesis first. (Algebra) pic.twitter.com/IV8AW56EHo
