Well...it depends on what is meant because the notation isn't all that clear. IF it means the fraction 8 over 2 (or 8 divided by 2) multiplied by the sum of 2 and 2, yes--the answer is 16. If it means 8 divided by twice the sum of 2 and 2, the answer is 1. The calculator is assuming the first.

8/2(2+2)=8/2(4)=8/2*(4)=8/2*4=4*4=16
You can put this in a calculator that allows expression entry and verify that result is 16.
