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?
