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): "5." was replaced by "(5/1)".

Step  1  :

 1.1     10 = 2•5

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

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  5
  — • ((2)(-1)•(5)(-1))
  1

Step  2  :

            5
 Simplify   —
            1

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  5 • ((2)(-1)•(5)(-1))

Step  3  :

Canceling Out :

 3.1      Canceling out  5  as it appears on both sides of the fraction line

Final result :

  1           
  — = 0.50000
