Consume Product

Am I just as retarded? I can't figure out how this works entirely. You can't divide 4 or (9-4) by eight, then multiply it by four to get seven, or divide five by thirty-two. Matter of fact, you can't multiply anything by four to get seven except 1.75. It can't be read backwards either, as 7=4*8/4-9, interpreted as either 7=(4*8)/(4-9) (that'd be 32/-5), or 7=(4*8)/(4)-(9), which would be -1, or 7=4*(8/4-9) which is -28, I could keep going for a while. Bottom one does work out, (6*3)-(9-2) is indeed seven, and (4+1+7)-4 is eight.

EDIT: Apparently it's supposed to be 9 + ((4/8)*4) which would work but I do think this is bullshit
