The answer is found by remembering that division and multiplication take precedence over addition and subtraction. Therefore you must take half of 2 before you add 2 to that result.
Half of 2 plus 2 = 0.5 * 2 + 2 = 1 + 2 = 3

I believe the answer is 2 because, the way the question is phrased, it sounds like you want half of 2+2, and 2+2=4, and half of that is dividing it by 2 or multiplying 1/2 to 4, and that equals 2.
