A math question

[Ubyr]

Dunno if this is in the right place or not, but here goes...


It has been debated that 0.999... is equal to 1. The proofs are several, but the easiest one for me to understand is:

1/3 = 0.333...
0.333... * 3 = 0.999...
1/3 * 3 = 1

Someone disputed this by saying the first line is not true. Is it? How is it not?

this is general hardware and this forums doesnt really have a section for random stuff anymore but

X = 0.99999.....

10X = 9.999999.....

10X - X = 9

9X = 9

X = 1

thats what i was taught. its one of the perks about the decimal format of numbers
