When the decimal point of a certain positive decimal number is moved six places to the right, the resulting number is 9 times the reciprocal of the original number. What is the original number?

the reciprocal is is something time something = 1

e.g 4/5, the reciprocal would be 5/4

you can also work out the reciprocal by using the power of -1
