0.333333333333... = 1/3
Multiply both sides by three
0.999999999999... = 1
0 . 9 9 9 … = 0 . 9 ˙ is a recurring decimal. It can be written in the form of a sum of a geometric progression as below:
0 . 9 9 9 … = 0 . 9 + 0 . 0 9 + 0 . 0 0 9 + …
where the first term, a = 0 . 9 and the common ratio, r = 0 . 9 0 . 0 9 = 0 . 1
The sum goes to infinity, therefore
0 . 9 9 9 … = 1 − 0 . 1 0 . 9 = 0 . 9 0 . 9 = 1
0 . 9 9 9 … = 1 , therefore the statement is True
