0.999999... = 1?

What the fuck. Why is that true. They got different numbers in them.

However .99---> infinite places will never be equivelently equal to 1 because of the extra 0.0(infintite)0001 needed to make it one, so therefore is will always be approaching 1

It can be described as a limit LIM(n -> infinity)[.99~~]-> 1 where n is the decimal places
