0 = 0.

Now, let’s rewrite the original equation using these calculated values.

The equation 8 + 8 ÷ 8 + 8 × 0 becomes 8 + 1 + 0.

Now we only have simple addition left to do.

We add the numbers from left to right.

First, 8 + 1 = 9.

Then, 9 + 0 = 9.

The final correct logical answer is 9.

By following the standard rules of math, the puzzle becomes very clear.
