Using only basic arithmetic operations make 7 out of five '2's.
2 2 2 2 2 = 7
You can use '

2*2*2-(2/2)
2 + 2 + 2 + 2/2 = 7
you cant use parenthesis,, you should solve it directly,, the right answer is
2÷2+2+2+2 = 7
MDAS Rule!! Multiply first then Divide then add the Subtract
It doesn't say there has to be an operator between every number. In that case an alternative solution is 22 / 2 - 2 - 2 = 7.
22/2 = 11. Minus 2 = 9. Minus 2 = 7.
Conforms to MDAS too.
2*2*2-(2/2) is still
2*2*2-2/2 without the parentheses and still works under MDAS.
Order of operations is important here. PEMDAS. multiply divide add subtract. 2/2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 7
2/2+2+2+2= 7
you could also use...
2/2+2*2+2
frogs0991's answer gets 8... haha
