Let's write this in maths first:

#10 div (1 div 0.1)#

#10 div 1/0.1#

We can treat this as a fraction calculation or as a decimal calculation.

As a fraction: To divide, multiply by the reciprocal:

#10 xx 0.1/1#

#= 1#

As a decimal, change the denominator into 1

#10 div (1xx10)/(0.1 xx10)#

#=10 div 10/1#

#=10 div 10 = 1#
