Why is it 16 and not 1?

It's PE M DAS you mongoloids, it's 1

>8:2*4
>4*4
You don't jump across the ratio like that.

>both are correct
Don't absolve this behavior. Math is a language and this is a mistranslation because someone was shitposting

This one isn't ambiguous.
Ratios still have the legacy obelus-division-operator behaviour.

8:(2(2+2)) would be 1

8/2 (2+2)

2+2 = 4

8/2 = 4,

4 * 4 = 16

That is what an idiot would say, the correct abswer is ofc 4

Let me guess this was a bot generated question on quora... and out of the 700+ spam answers by CEOs and Indians you were among the 10% that failed, right?

Guess most of you are American here by your sheer pig ignorance of something as basic of this.

The reason is BODMAS, an acronym and it stands for Bracket, Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction.

Now go back to shooting yourselves you fucking yanks.

>ambiguous
That's not how math works.
Have we gotten to this point now? Where 2+2=5 because the Party will convince you?

8:2(2+2) brace content before everything
=> 8:(2*4) => * before : => 8:8 => 1....

>8:2*4
>4*4

first multiplication then division... that BASIC math

The O in BODMAS is "orders", aka exponents.

you trolling right?

8:2*4 * always goes first in order
8:8

I might just be a stupid nigger faggot but I don't understand use of the ratio sign.

If it means division, than the answer is 16. I have no idea how a ratio fits into PEMDAS.

BOMDAS

Do you even know how factures work?

8

2*(2+2)

retard

>8:2(2+2)
www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=8:2(2%2B2)

That would be 8:(2(2+2)) not 8:2(2+2)

>BOMDAS
Are you Indian? This BOMDAS shit is plain wrong

omg.... multi has higher order so you dont need to write the extra braces

The fuck math symbol is a colon?

strange

youtu.be/ywn_CN15wvE

you can enter both formulas in wolframalpha and same result...

www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=8:2(2%2B2)

www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=8:(2(2%2B2))

multiplication goes before divisions it seems some indian schools teach it the wrong way TOPKEK

>BOMDAS

next level trolling... third world schools using this

Ratio. Also known as a fraction.

1.Parentheses (all)
2.Exponents
3.Multiplication and then Division
4.Addition and then Subtraction

This is the basic algorithm for every simple formula...

>tfw Faggots reduce the discipline of mathematics to a childish acronym because faggots gonna fag.

You morons need to understand that the linear form division sign is a shorthand place holder for a fraction. What school did you assholes go to and why isn't it a first world institution?

Is the motherfucking division key broken on everyone's keyboard?

If it pleases the crown...the answer is 1

Hahaha!
Well played user!

Some indian teacher introduced this on reddit / quora and now all indians spam this on quora like wtf

tl;dr:

it is 16 now but once upon a time it was actually 1. it depends on how old you are and where you were educated.

Ref: jstor.org/stable/2972726?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents

8:2(4)

retards

You multiple OR divide not multiply then divide left to right

Retards.

Why is this even a debate?
Order of operations has always been flawed and unless given clear instructions in which order everything is in the equation is unclear. Pemdas and such are only a generalization and doesn't even take into account things such as factorization
> Stupid Question => Stupid Answers

Answer is 16, anyone who says otherwise is a crayon chewer.

youtu.be/vaitsBUyiNQ

Question is whether 2(4) is factorization or plain multiplication. Order of operations does not take this into account. If it is factorization then you would multiply first which goes against modern order of operations.

A division is a multiplication

You can write:
8 * 2^-1 * 4
then the order does not matter, the result will be 16

Factoring has nothing to do with this at all. You are just multiplying, which is foiling. Faggot.

m.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=8/2(2+2)

dumbass fucking retards

>factoring

go back to 6th grade you moron

this

because you forgot the second [ ] like 8:[2(2+2)]

>www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=8:2(2%2B2)
using / instead of : in wolfram alpha ...

TOPKEK idiot / includes an extra field... know cs basics..

/

major dumbass here
use : instead and read the wolfram wiki ffs

>wolframalpha.com/input/?i=8%2F2%282%2B2%29
DUMBASS...

try 2/2/2 vs 2:2:2 and then think why the results differ / reverses the order in wolframalpha and : remains natural order

holy shit how did you survive preschool?! you can't even handle simple tools like wolframalpha

HOLY SHIT THIS LEVEL OF RETARDITION

holy shit crying right here this post and the confidence behind

it would be

8
_ (2+2) =
2

its not

8
____ =
2(2+2)

2:2:2 -> results in 1
2/2/2 -> results in 1/2

because second ads a (....) making ist (2/2)/2
while 2:2:2 is natually same as 1:1:1 = 1
so using / is dangerous in wolfram other than :
Think about it divide the same size multiple times through itsself, result is: 1

You overconfidence and lack of knowledge is quiet funny though

idiot x / y adds an extra ( x / y ) around it
you can also write:

wolframalpha.com/input/?i=(8/2)(2+2)

same wrong result...

pls dont tell me you have any serious degree

Knowledge: 0
Confidence: 100
Speech: 50

Retarded fallout character here

this guys right... its the way you are reading it in the format to behin with. There are two ways it can be perceived. first one would be correct

8/2(2+2) = (8/2)(2+2)

ever heard of bedmas dumbass
Brackets
Exponents
Division
Multiplication
Addition
Subtraction

you autistic underage shitheads you never use that shit : in equations

16 who ever say different should not vote ( democrats)

what planet are you from where you dont follow that when doing equations and get correct answers?

shit could be

8
-- (2+2)
2

but never anything with retarded : inside

...

wolframalpha.com/input/?i=8/2(2+2)=(8/2)(2+2)

Actually, multiplication and division (as well as addition and subtraction) do not go before one another. They are in the same column and you do them in order from left to right. Not multiplication before division. (Pe(md)(as)
