0.999999=1

.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

I'm getting a 404 error.

odd :S wait a sec.....Fixed.

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..

=)

I couldn't care :lol:

And as far as im concerend 0.99999999999 =that and not 1.

And why are you reading that lawlzorz

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.

42.

Heres the proof muah. Hope you can read my messy writing.... I do write neater on paper haha

This just proves why infinity is flawed.
