16 / 8*2 =4 If you do the division 1st.
16 / (8*2) = 1 If you do the multiplication 1st.
Answers depend on how u say this question, if it's the 1st option: 16 divided by 8 then times 2.
If it's the 2nd option, then: 16 divided by the product of 8 & 2.

The answer here actually depends on how you write the problem. If the question is simply as stated then, 16/8*2 would be 1 because the rules for operation require you to do multiplication first then division.
However, you are also supposed to perform operations from left to right. Thus, you divide 16/8 and get 2 which you multiply by 2 to get 4. So, the final answer is 4.
