/pol/ is so painfully stupid

Can someone PLEASE give me a quick mathematical explanation for why the answer is actually 1 so I can screenshot it and share it with them?

I can do the math but I can't do it with words or explain it.

No it doesn't. They have the same priority, and that means you have to go from left to right.

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

Quoted By:

Since there are no brackets separating the division as a function you can assume that the multiplication is part of the denominator, 8/(2(2+2)) = 8/8 = 1
