POW – 0.99999 Repeating Equals One? Posted on May 7, 2012 by Chris West How can you prove or disprove that 1 = 0.999999…? The answer to this Problem of the Week can be found here.
Ha-ha-ha! Correct but not obvious equation. Just consider 1 as 3 * (1/3) where 1/3 is 0.333… or 0.(3). The next step is reverse one: 0.333… * 3 = 0.999… or 0.(9). That is 1. There are more than one proof. I shown the simplest. Reply ↓
