    I didn't comment on this earlier because I was not entirely sure what and/or why it was one or the other. Now I realised why. (2+2) turns into (4). (4) is then just a simple multiplication to whatever it's around with, in this case "2". That means the question is 8/2*4, and then simple maths order comes in, PEMDAS as said before, and, as is the case here, if not applicable, left to right.

    So you first do 8/2 = 4, because / and * are the same order so you go from left to right. Then simply 4*4 = 16. :)

    8/2(4+4)=8/2(8)=4(8)=32. When I did it in my head I got 1/2, 1, or 2, but writing it out I got the right answer lol
