Solution - Simplification or other simple results

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

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

(2): ".88" was replaced by "(88/100)".

Step  1  :

            22
 Simplify   ——
            25

Equation at the end of step  1  :

           22
  (10-1) • ——
           25

Step  2  :

 2.1     10 = 2•5

(10)^-1 = (2•5)^(-1) = (2)^(-1) • (5)^(-1)

Equation at the end of step  2  :

                      22
  ((2)(-1)•(5)(-1)) • ——
                      25

Step  3  :

Multiplying exponents :

 3.1    5¹  multiplied by  5²   = 5^{(1 + 2)} = 5³

Canceling Out :

 3.2      Canceling out  2  as it appears on both sides of the fraction line

Final result :

   11           
  ——— = 0.08800
