    That is what I am talking about. I would have got 1 by doing 2(2+2) = 8 first. Not because of bracket but because of “implied multiplication.”

    What I am learning here: 8÷2(2+2) is not same as 8÷2×(2+2)

    For several reasons:

    1. number next bracket is not the same as normal multiplication in rule book
    2. ÷ & × have right of way rule with whoever is left most wins.
