Arwa is playing 'Guess my number'. Arwa says: 'If I add 0.4 to my number, divide the answer by 8, then multiply that answer by 9, I get 0.9.' What is Arwa's number?

0.4 is the answer because you if you work backwards and use inverse operations you get 0.4.
meaning, if you divide 0.9 by 9, you get 0.1. when you multiply 0.1 and 8 you get 0.8. and when you subtract 0.4 from 0.8 you get your answer, 0.4.
