Hello! To solve this question, we need to follow order of operations, or PEMDAS. The order of solving is parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction.

16/(2+6)

First, let's solve the problem inside the parentheses.
16/(2+6)
2+6=8
16/2

There are no exponents, so we'll move on to division.

16/2=8

Since there is no addition or subtraction, we finish here. Hope this helped! :)
