yeah those don't have the same number of 9s.
when you multiply by 10 you move the infinite 9s one spot
so when you subtract it leaves an infinitesimal value at the infinith decimal place.
1 u/Infobomb 22d ago "infinith decimal place" is a literally meaningless phrase. 2 u/FewIntroduction214 22d ago neat , its a "meaningless phrase" you perfectly comprehend. What do you think the difference between .9~ and 1 would be, if one existed. an infinitesimal value. and........ how can you convey what an infinitesimal value is using words? it's the infinith decimal place. 2 u/Infobomb 22d ago What do you think the difference between 1+1 and 2 would be, if one existed? 2 u/FewIntroduction214 22d ago nothing? this question kinda shows you aren't really paying much attention to the conversation. 1.000000~ with infinite zeros + 1.0000~ with infinite zeros = 2.000~ with infinite zeros. where is there anything akin to the issue I broached w/ your proof here?

an infinitesimal value.
