minus-square@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish4•1 year ago Even simpler 0.99999999… = 1 But you’re just restating the premise here. You haven’t proven the two are equal. 1/3 =0.333333… This step 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 0.99999999… And this step Aren’t well-defined. You’re relying on division short-hand rather than a real proof.
