16/(-2)x 4 OVER 2^3 +4 =
(16)/-8/(8+4) =
(16)/-8/12 =
(16/-8) x (1/12) =
-2 x (1/12)=
-1/6
Check my work.

Debbie, you need to be careful with grouping symbols.
DrBob read the problem one way, but I read it another.
(16/(-2)) + 4)/ (2^3 + 4)
which leads to an entirely different answer. Without grouping symbols, it is impossible to know.

Yes. Do it with my interpretation. YOu need to add grouping to explain it here.
What you have is a fraction, with numerator and denominator as I guessed them.
