[MacDorcha]

in the case of .999..., no, but in the case of 3/3, yes, except when provided with what i showed you, .3333... + .666... = .999... or 1/3 + 2/3 = 3/3

also, a gradeschool student could tell you what they think is right, that doesnt mean you should listen.

the reason you cant get a yes or no is because there is not one. this is a mathematical principle. .999... approaches 1, but is so close, it is often used as 1.

the reason you cant get a yes or no is because there is not one. this is a mathematical principle. .999... approaches 1, but is so close, it is often used as 1.

Please, I didn't ask if "0.999..." was "close" to "1", I asked if it is exactly equal to "1."

This is mathematics, it isn't Clintonian rhetoric. There is a straighforward answer to this question, and I can't fathom why you are evading it so arduously.

Is 0.999... exactly equal to "1" or not?

[Ichneumon]

the reason you cant get a yes or no is because there is not one.

Not one what?

this is a mathematical principle. .999... approaches 1, but is so close, it is often used as 1.

What's 1.0000... - 0.9999...? It's 0.0000..., right?
