(1): "^-1" was replaced by "^(-1)".

Step  1  :

            25
 Simplify   ——
            4 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  25
 (——)-1) ÷ 2
  4 

Step  2  :

 2.1     25 = 52

(25)^-1 = (5²)^(-1) = (5)^(-2)  2.2     4 = 2² (4)^-1 = (2²)^(-1) = (2)^(-2)

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  (5)(-2)
  ——————— ÷ 2
  (2)(-2)

Step  3  :

         (5)(-2)      
 Divide  ———————  by  2
         (2)(-2)      

Dividing exponents :

 3.1    2²   divided by   2¹   = 2^{(2 - 1)} = 2¹ = 2

Final result :

   2           
  —— = 0.08000
