Answer:

To solve this expression, we need to follow the order of operations: parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division (performed left to right), and addition and subtraction (performed left to right).

There are no parentheses or exponents, so we can simplify multiplication and division first:

-2/8 × 2/8 + 2/8 - 2/8 × 2/8 = (-2 × 2)/(8 × 8) + 2/8 - (2 × 2)/(8 × 8)

= -4/64 + 2/8 - 4/64

= (-4 + 16 - 4)/64

= 8/64

= 1/8

Therefore, -2/8 × 2/8 + 2/8 - 2/8 × 2/8 = 1/8.
