    Why 0.999999999… = 1?
    This equality usually surprises everybody. This is a short explanation:
    Clearly
    0.3333333333… = 1/3
    Multiply both members by 3:
    3*0.3333333333… = 0.99999999999… = 3*(1/3) = 1

    Another way to go…
    x = 0.999999999…
    10x = 9.999999999…
    Subtract the two and the infinite decimals cancel out
    10x – x = 9x =9
    x = 1
    Hence 0.999999999… = 1
