That depends on parentheses!

Written like that, I'd read it as 1 / 8 * 2 / 8, which by order of operations means the answer is 1/32 .... 1 over 8 = 1/8 ... 1/8 times 2 = 1/4 ... 1/4 over 8 = 1/32

However, the answer could be different if that problem should read as 1/(8*(2/8)), in which case the answer would be 1/2.
