Question

a

Answer 1

No cheating (no Google).

Answer 2

Is this the 9/10+ 9/100 +9/1000 thing haha?

Answer 3

It could be, it may not be. :)

Answer 4

simple... round 0.9999999 and it will be 1 :D

Answer 5

I know how to do it, I'll let someone else have the glory :p

Answer 6

lol not a proof @paki :P

Answer 7

@iambatman you won my last quiz with the star and lines, nice to share the glory lol

Answer 8

:), there's more than one way to doing this, I want to see how others will do it haha.

Answer 9

Yeah. I am expecting the proof involving multiplication (hint!)

Answer 10

what will we do with the "MEDAL" ;-)

Answer 11

Barter it for a protein shake; wear it around your neck, whatever. :)

Answer 12

:d

Answer 13

*cough* precedence *cough*

Answer 14

this misery can be solved by geometric series... :-)

Answer 15

lol

Answer 16

Yeah that was my first approach @paki

Answer 17

LOL so because 0.999999... goes on indefinitely it is considered to = 1
there are a few ways to solve this, but ill give you the algebraic way of proving it
so lets say x = 0.9999999999

Answer 18

ok give me my medal

Answer 19

I will take sufficiently expanded geometric series as acceptable proof if you have the patience to type it out, but the easier proof that i know if is argument from precedence

Answer 20

lol that is not sufficiently detailed batman, but it's close..

Answer 21

batman desperately wants his medal.

Answer 22

I'm too lazy

Answer 23

let's go mira :P prove it

Answer 24

anyways so by definition if we take 10x - 9x = 1x correct?

Answer 25

which is the same as 10x - 1x = 9x

Answer 26

so now lets put in the values for 10x - 1x
if x = 0.99999....
