Answer:

101

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that

$55=5\cdot 11;$
$1111=11\cdot 101.$

Here these two numbers have the common divisor 11. Find the least common multuply:

$LCM(55,1111)=11\cdot 5\cdot 101=5555.$

This means that the minimum number of games that Enzo could have played will be

$\dfrac{5555}{55}=101.$
