1. **State the problem:** Evaluate the expression $16 \div 2(2+2)$. 2. **Apply the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):** Parentheses first, then multiplication and division from left to right. 3. Calculate inside the parentheses: $$2+2=4$$ 4. Rewrite the expression: $$16 \div 2(4)$$ 5. According to order of operations, division and multiplication have the same priority, so we evaluate from left to right: $$16 \div 2 \times 4$$ 6. Perform the division first: $$\cancel{16} \div \cancel{2} = 8$$ 7. Now multiply: $$8 \times 4 = 32$$ 8. **Final answer:** $$32$$
