Answer:
1/2 = 2^-1 = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The picture shows you that you find the number at 11:00 a.m. by dividing 1 by 2. That division is represented as ...
[tex]1\div2=\boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}}=\boxed{2^{-1}}=\boxed{1/2}[/tex]

Additional comment
It is somewhat difficult to tell exactly what "expanded form" is required for the fraction. We have taken a clue from the form used for positive exponents where the multiplication by 2 is shown. So, for negative exponents, we have shown the division by 2.
The 10 a.m. form might then be 1/4 = 2^-2 = 1/2/2.
