Let's solve each part step by step without using a calculator.

---

**(a) $$ \frac{1^{2011}}{2011^{-1}} $$**

- **Calculate the numerator:** $$ 1^{2011} = 1 $$ (since any number raised to any power is itself if it's 1).
- **Calculate the denominator:** $$ 2011^{-1} = \frac{1}{2011} $$.
  
So,
$$
\frac{1^{2011}}{2011^{-1}} = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{2011}} = 2011
$$

**Answer:** $$ 2011 $$

**(b) $$ (0.125)^{-3} $$**

- **Express 0.125 as a fraction:** $$ 0.125 = \frac{1}{8} $$.
- **Apply the negative exponent:** $$ \left(\frac{1}{8}\right)^{-3} = 8^{3} $$.
- **Calculate $$ 8^3 $$:** $$ 8 \times 8 \times 8 = 512 $$.

**Answer:** $$ 512 $$

---

**(d) $$ \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{-3x} \times 8^{2-2x} $$**

- **Express in terms of powers of 2:**
  - $$ \frac{1}{4} = 2^{-2} $$ so $$ \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{-3x} = (2^{-2})^{-3x} = 2^{6x} $$.
  - $$ 8 = 2^{3} $$ so $$ 8^{2-2x} = (2^{3})^{2-2x} = 2^{6 - 6x} $$.
  
- **Multiply the exponents:** $$ 2^{6x} \times 2^{6 - 6x} = 2^{6x + 6 - 6x} = 2^{6} = 64 $$.

**Answer:** $$ 64 $$

**(e) $$ \frac{8 \times 9^{3}}{32^{2} \times 27} $$**

- **Factorize each number:**
  - $$ 8 = 2^{3} $$
  - $$ 9 = 3^{2} $$ so $$ 9^{3} = 3^{6} $$
  - $$ 32 = 2^{5} $$ so $$ 32^{2} = 2^{10} $$
  - $$ 27 = 3^{3} $$
  
- **Substitute back into the expression:**
  $$
  \frac{2^{3} \times 3^{6}}{2^{10} \times 3^{3}} = 2^{3-10} \times 3^{6-3} = 2^{-7} \times 3^{3} = \frac{27}{128}
  $$

**Answer:** $$ \frac{27}{128} $$

---

**(g) $$ \frac{1}{3^{-1} + 2^{-2}} $$**

- **Calculate each term in the denominator:**
  - $$ 3^{-1} = \frac{1}{3} $$
  - $$ 2^{-2} = \frac{1}{4} $$
  
- **Add them together:**
  $$
  \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{4 + 3}{12} = \frac{7}{12}
  $$
  
- **Take the reciprocal:**
  $$
  \frac{1}{\frac{7}{12}} = \frac{12}{7}
  $$

**Answer:** $$ \frac{12}{7} $$

---

**Summary of Answers:**
- **(a)** $$ 2011 $$
- **(b)** $$ 512 $$
- **(d)** $$ 64 $$
- **(e)** $$ \frac{27}{128} $$
- **(g)** $$ \frac{12}{7} $$
**(a) 2011** **(b) 512** **(d) 64** **(e) 27⁄128** **(g) 12⁄7**
