8 ÷ 2(2+2) = ?

Using the order of operations and the acronym PEMDAS, we begin to solve this expression by adding the 2+2 in parentheses to get 4. From there, we operate from left to right, as division and multiplication are given the same precedence in modern orders of operations. That gives us 8/2 = 4 and then 4*4 equals our final answer of 16.
