The best (solution)!
I have a similiar note with the exact same logic. :) - 1=0.99
The best solution :) 1 . 8 + 1 . 8 ⋅ 1 0 − 1 + 1 . 8 ⋅ 1 0 − 2 + 1 . 8 ⋅ 1 0 − 3 + 1 . 8 ⋅ 1 0 − 4 + ⋯ 1 . 8 ( 1 0 0 + 1 0 − 1 + 1 0 − 2 + 1 0 − 3 + 1 0 − 4 + ⋯ ) From the sum of infinite geometric series: 1 . 8 ( 1 0 − 1 1 0 ) 9 1 . 8 ⋅ 1 0 9 1 8 2
Haha! Good solution! Upvoted!
💖 solution! @Páll Márton
A little note, from 9 1 . 8 ∗ 1 0 , you could have done:
9 1 8
2

@A Former Brilliant Member – Can you help me, @Vinayak Srivastava
1.99999.....=1+0.99999999...=1+0.11111...... 9=1+(1/9) 9=1+1=2
2 = 2
1 + 1 = 2
1 + 3 1 + 3 1 + 3 1 = 2
3 1 = 0 . 3 3 3 . . .
1 + 0 . 3 3 3 . . . + 0 . 3 3 3 . . . + 0 . 3 3 3 . . . = 2
So, therefore...
1 . 9 9 9 . . . = 2

Typo in last line.

Thanks a lot! Was a small typo
Plus, you should better check @KALVEN LIN 's solution for this question
i used the wrong formula but somehow got the correct answer i misread the title as round the word so assumed the question was about rounding so i chose 2
I can't write LATEX, so I'll just use normal numbers and words.
1.999... = 2
Subtract one from each side.
0.999... = 1
Next, assume x = 0.999...
10x = 9.999...
10x - x = 9.999... - 0.999...
9x = 9
Divide both sides by 9
x = 1
x = 1 and 0.999..., so 1 + x = 2

Let x = 1 . 9 9 9 ⋯
⟹ 1 0 x = 1 9 . 9 9 9 ⋯
Subtracting second equation from first,
1 0 x − x = 1 9 . 9 9 9 ⋯ − 1 . 9 9 9 ⋯ = 1 8
⟹ 9 x = 1 8
⟹ x = 2
