Answer:
the new resister is 11 ohms.
Step-by-step explanation:
Set it up like this.
1/x + 1/1.1 = 1 Subtract 1/1.1 from both sides
1/x = 1 - 1/1.1
1 - 1/1.1 = 1/11
1/x = 1/11 Cross multiply
11 = x
If 1/11 bothers you, you could do it it another way.
1 - 1/1.1 = (1.1 - 1 ) / 1.1 = 0.1 / 1.1 Multiply top and bottom by 10
0.1*10/(1.1 * 10 ) = 1 / 11
