This explanation, and the realisation that a single number can have more than one representation in decimal numbers (example: 0.35, 0.350, 0.3500, 0.35000... are all the same number) should be enough for anyone numerate. There is no dispute, it's the same quantity as 1 represents. |
I take it math isn't your strong subject? That or you haven't taken higher levels of math. The whole distinction for 0.35 and 0.350 and going on is mostly a distinction made for science. They use it to keep their "significant figures" as they need to keep their measurements as accurate as they were able to measure, whatever they were measuring, with.
You can try to make "proofs" that .9 repeating = 1, but this only can work if you ignore the fact that our decimal system doesn't work perfectly.
