Generally it does.
Put it this way: 0.9999.....does not equal 1, BUT
0.(9) is equal one. So one someone aska you what 1/3 is in numbers you give the answer 0.(3) . Multiply 0.(3) by three and that is equal to 1/3 times 3. And that equals one.
If someone doesn't get what i'm saying, when you write some number like 0.9999999........... ==> that does not mean that the number is infinate. It ends at some distant point that you can't accurately pinpoint, but it still ends.
In this case the () with a number inside means that the number goes on for infinity.
And because 0.(9) goes on for infinity, it is so close to the actual 1 that it is percieved to be that number.
Huh. Who would've thought that beggining anew in my real life would coincide with starting anew on vgchartz?
Any day now, the dollar will be worth less than 2 zloty......any day now.....and my life savings will be in total jepordy ;(.
