Well, technically it does. But it doesn't. It just doesn't. ;_;

It does when you round it up. :O

When a decimal is repeating, you take the repeating number(s) and put it over the place value thing (ten for tenths, hundred for hundreths) except you subtract one (nine for tenths, 99 for hundreths) so .9999999999999999 equals 9/9 equals one. :'[

10x=.9999 10-x=9.999-0.9999 9.000...1=9 Then you take it from there... YOU JUST FRIGGEN SUBTRACTED X. You can't leave it there if it's gone. D:
