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): "5.5" was replaced by "(55/10)".

Step  1  :

 1.1     10 = 2•5

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

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  55
  —— • ((2)(-1)•(5)(-1))
  10

Step  2  :

            11
 Simplify   ——
            2 

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  11
  —— • ((2)(-1)•(5)(-1))
  2 

Step  3  :

Multiplying exponents :

 3.1    2¹  multiplied by  2¹   = 2^{(1 + 1)} = 2²

Final result :

  11           
  —— = 0.55000
