If 0.3333 (infinity 3’s) equals 1/3, and if you multiply both sides by 3, you get 0.999 (infinity 9’s) equals 1. Moreover, if you subtract 0.999 (infinity 9’s) from 1, you get 0.000 (infinity 0’s). You never reach the final 1 due to the infinite 9’s.

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.
