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.
