So I had an argument with a couple friends about this. They can't be convinced that 1 = .999 repeated
I showed them the Wikipedia proof:
1/9 = 0.11111....
9 * 1/9 = 9 * 0.1111....
1 = 0.99999....
They say that Wiki isn't a reliable source
Anyone want to back me up on this? Just for ****s and giggles.
They kept trying to argue that .9999 doesn't equal one because if you have .99999... it's not the same as having 1 of something. What they don't seem to grasp is that .9999 is a limit.
Any math wizards here?
And crap, I wanted a Yes/No poll on this!
