moles KOH - - - > (2.50 mol/L) (0.0550 L) = 0.1375 mol

The KOH to H2SO4 molar ratio of 2 to 1 is the key. Only half as much H2SO4 get neutralized compared to the KOH:

0.1375 mol / 2 = 0.06875 mol < - - - that's the H2SO4 amount

volume required of H2SO4 - - - > 0.06875 mol / 0.755 mol/L = 0.0910596 L = 91.0 mL (to three sig figs)
