Maybe it's a trick question. Could be 88-(8*8)=24

I think Broken Planet has it best with "88-8X8=24"
or if I were you I would say 88-8(squared)=24
squared is a little 2 at the top of the 8.
8 over 8 equals 1, so that problem above is incorrect I believe.

The thing is to work towards the fact that 4! = 24
(a) (8 / [(8+8) / 8]) ! = 24
(b) [(8x8)/(8+8)] ! = 24
Writing .8 recurring as .8...
(c) [(8/8) + sqrt (8/ .8...) ]! = 24

This is 5th grade math?!
4 8's alone is 32., you need the answer to be 24
32-8=24
8+8+8-8=24
Good luck!

8 + 8 +8

8
This is supposed to show 8 over 8 (which is 8) plus 8 plus 8
