why is this still open..

Hurr durr
.999 =/= 1
There are an infinite number of decimal places between each number. And the argument that .999 = 3/3 = 1 works, but that's only if you put it into a fraction. If you just use decimals, then it is .9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
and not 1.

you say that .999... = 3/3 = 1

therefore

.999... = 1

derp
that's ONLY if you use fractions.

the number changes when you stop using fractions?

of course

getting tired of this but i don't want complaints so here goes
