The smallest number divisible by 11 and ending in 5 is 55.

Explanation

A number divisible by 11 must be a multiple of 11. To find the smallest such number that ends in 5, we can list the multiples of 11 and check their last digit:

  • 11 * 1 = 11
  • 11 * 2 = 22
  • 11 * 3 = 33
  • 11 * 4 = 44
  • 11 * 5 = 55

As we can see, 55 is the first multiple of 11 that ends in 5. Therefore, it is the smallest number satisfying both conditions.
