>>Fraction proof
>>The standard method used to convert the fraction 1⁄3 to decimal form is long division, and the well-known result is 0.3333…, with the digit 3 repeating. Multiplication of 3 times 3 produces 9 in each digit, so 3 × 0.3333… equals 0.9999…; but 3 × 1⁄3 equals 1, so it must be the case that 0.9999… = 1.

If we have a fraction for 0.3333... which is 1/3,
then we MUST have a fraction that = 0.9999...

Oh wait, we don't have a fraction that = 0.9999..., but we do have a similar one that = 1 !!!!

Amirite or am i wrong? Is there a fraction that = 0.9999... ???
