Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
0.9 = 0.99999…
Let x = 0.99999……. (1)
Here only one digit is repeating so multiply by 10 on both sides
10 × x = 10× 0.99999….
10x = 9.9999…. (2)
On subtracting equation 1 from equation 2
10x- x = 9.9999…. - 0.9999….
9x = 9
x = 9/ 9 = 1
Here , 0.9 = 1
Yes we are surprised to get an integer 1, because 0.9999…. goes on forever so there is no gap between 1 and 0.999 9... and hence they are equal.
Hope this will help you ...
