0.999999=1

[SgtSwabs]

.9999999 is the same as 1

Can it be? This site thinks so:

1/3 = 0.3333
2/3 = 0.6666
3/3 = 0.9999

3/3 = 1

1/3 cannot essentially be compared to a decimal number fullly, and therefore the statement is not true. It also involved the laws of infinity.

Well after you get like to 50th place or something, it becomes so precise that nothing can measured with a number that small, so it considered one. Or something like that..

It's true!

Give me a number between 1 and 0.99999999.... if they were different numbers, then there would be a third number in between.

This just proves why infinity is flawed.
