In PEMDAS M does not get priority over D so the equation has to be executed in order: 8/2=4, 4*4=16. You would be correct if all PEMDAS were a priority list., but it is not.

M does not get priority over D

And M refers literally to multiplication signs, of which there are none, and Brackets has priority over everything.

8/2(2+2) =8/(2x2+2x2) =8/8 =1
