No, I don't need to show that at all. It has already been shown by other people. If you're set on it not being equal to 1 then you can go on believing it. The fact still remains that 0.9 recurring == 1 and that there are many, many proofs of this out there. I shouldn't be required to...

OK, lets try a different approach: 1/9 == 0.1* 0.9* == 9 * 0.1* (1/9)*9 == 9/9 9/9 == 1 QED Just let it go... Whichever way you look at it, 0.9 recurring is equal to 1. Always has been, always will be. Also, why is this 12 pages when it was answered correctly in the 2nd...

What does that mean? 0.9* is 0 and a decimal point with an infinite number of 9s... multiplying by 10 moves the decimal point to give 9 and a decimal point with an infinite number of 9s... This is pretty basic mathematics (I was taught it at GCSE level as a way to deal with recurring...

Forgetting for a moment that you absolutely do need to point out what the flaws are in order for it to be a valid argument; there is no flaw, it was 100% correct and there was no leap in logic whatsoever... Just because you don't follow the proof, doesn't mean it is a false one. For x = 0.9*...
