What’s your answer to this simple math equation that’s dividing the internet? (Page 2)

[Luukas]

16
8:2(2+2)
8:2×4
4×4
16
: is before × so you need to do it first

[Anonymous]

I think is 16 I hope so because math is not my best 😜

[MarketNews]

The answer is 16. I'm not sure why that would be controversial.

[6lacier]

Because it's wrong lol

[6lacier]

... or not. Nevermind lol.

[MarketNews]

@6lacier I reject your reality and substitute my own.

[Sevenpointfive]

the answer is still 1

[ketanv69]

Fuck the answer it's irruka sensei teaching from Naruto Anime

[Pinay_ako]

8/2 (2+2)
8/2 (4)
4(4)
=16

[jessicarosen]

Should be 1 according to PEMDAS.

[PrincessGrail]

The answer is 1

[Dongtai]

PEMDAS NO JUSTU!!

8/2(2+2)=?
8/2(4)=?
8/8=1

[somewhatsentient]

Its not dividing the internet, its dividing 2(2+2)

[somewhatsentient]

I stand corrected, at this point in time its a 50/50 between 1 and 16... the internet as of this moment in my perception of time is divided. Fuck me i guess.

[Asker]

Lol. Yeah I was gonna say to check out the poll and the comments. No one can agree

[somewhatsentient]

Well all this proves is that there are a lot of dumb stupid moron idiots. The answer is one because the inside of a wormhole contains a singularity which by definition is a "single" object so everything in the world equates to 1. Im a genius make me some spaghetti.

[NineBreaker]

8/[2(2+2)] = 8/[2(4)] = 8/8 = 1

[kanelives]

Why did you add the brackets that were not in the equation?

[NineBreaker]

It's a mistake

[PeacefulRainDrop]

1 final answer

[ItsTheNephilim]

Lmao so many dumbasses here.

[jakester110220]

Complete the brackets first so 8÷2(4) = 8÷8 = 1

[JosyJosy]

Wow I'm the minority? Is that bad?

[GoodatBad]

16

Operations in brackets go first. Fact.

[Lauren-green]

Yes so brackets go first.
2 plus 2 is 4.
2 × 4 equals 8.
8 divided by 8 is 1.
How did you get 16? 😅

[GoodatBad]

2 + 2 = 4
8 ÷ 2 = 4
4 x 4 = 16

Number outside bracketed operation = multiply. Fact.

[GoodatBad]

Coming from someone who did two levels of math, two levels of chemistry and two levels of physics in high school

[Lauren-green]

I did three levels of statistics, three levels of physics in high school but I don't really think that has much to do with this. It's just different ways of doing it. Like I was using BEDMAS. I assume you were using a different one?

[GoodatBad]

I used BRAIN

[Lauren-green]

Haha you're very funny🙄

[Lauren-green]

I never meant it in a bad way, I was literally asking how you got 16? You're acting like I took a shot at your man hood😂

[GoodatBad]

Yeah I can be an asshole

But takes one to eat one

[GoodatBad]

Careful my manhood shoots back

[Lauren-green]

Lol okay, I never said I had eaten ass, I literally asked who has lmao 😂😂

[Lauren-green]

Wow you're so defensive

[GoodatBad]

Maaaan I suck at innuendo

I am not intentionally being mean!

I just didn't want to offer you a demonstration in front of everybody because it's kinda rude not to invite everybody

Wikipedia says

Manhood may also refer to:

Masculinity, a set attributes, behaviors, and roles typically associated with boys and men

A slang term for the penis

I knew you meant the first but I meant the second

[Lauren-green]

I actually meant both hahaha. You're not being mean haha it's just a bit of banter 😅

[GoodatBad]

When my manhood got involved I guess I thought things were getting serious

😛😈

[Ellie-V]

Uno.

[God-vs-Satan]

As a mathematics expert in the field, it is 16.

[bhavy24]

1 and 16 both are correct

[lacaras]

No... There is no ambiguity in math, 16 is the correct answer, if you got 1 you didn't follow order of operations correctly.

[kayaleyla285]

@lacaras According to BODMAS, 16
PEMDAS, 1

[lacaras]

It doesn't make a difference, they're two acronyms used to describe the same thing.

[kayaleyla285]

@lacaras in bodmas, division comes first after brackets
In pemdas, multiplication comes first after brackets

[betaTester]

PEMDAS does not say multiplication before division jfc
Google it
www.mathsisfun.com/operation-order-pemdas.html
"Divide and Multiply rank equally (and go left to right)."

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[kayaleyla285]

@betaTester I conveyed what I was told. Thanks anyways.
I use BODMAS.
The answers are 2

[kayaleyla285]

Oh no I mean one then

[betaTester]

@kayaleyla285 are u trolling me how did u get 1

[kayaleyla285]

@betaTester i wrote 16 and 1 both

[6lacier]

@lacaras Lol you're wrong

[Thatsamazing]

@lacaras Uh... what?

The answer is 1.

[kayaleyla285]

@Thatsamazing The answer is 16!
Both multiplication and division rank equal and we choose whatever comes first. Move left to right.

[6lacier]

Apologis. You're not wrong.

[MysteriousDarkness]

@kayaleyla285
Brackets are these [ ]
Parentheses are these ( )
PEMDAS = Parentheses Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction
With the multiplication and division you do what comes first. With the addition and subtraction you do what comes first.

[dante7631]

Clearly the answer is rasengan

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

Give this man MHO please!

[ecfresh]

16, obvious

[anametouse]

It's 1 you gotta follow PEMDAS

[kayaleyla285]

Pemdas (1)
Bodmas (16)

[bangyourhead]

The answer is 1.

[MK2808]

is the denominator "2" or "2(2+2)"…?

[SSam23]

16, PEMDAS

[loganator9]

How did people get 16

[_Jay_]

16 is right, funnily enough. 8÷2(2+2)=8÷2(4)=8÷2×4=16
Left to right.

[_Jay_]

Or not. I think im just stupid.

[_Jay_]

Ok nvm i was right.

[Anonymous]

2

If it's PEMDAS, it should be 2

[Razal]

Answer is 1

[PrettyRegular]

4 x 4 = 16

[king_beso0o]

1 1 (1)

[king_beso0o]

Correction 16

[ShadowedSoul]

16😁😁😁
