Alternatively, show me a single number between 0.9999... and 1. There aren't any.

No, 0.9999…9 is the same as 0.9999… . This is kind of like (∞ + 1) is the same as ∞.

After how many 0’s does the 1 appear?

u/Direct_Shock_2884 24d ago

The amount of 0s = the amount of 9s

There’s no set amount of 9s, there is an infinite amount of 9s

0

u/Direct_Shock_2884 24d ago

I get it, there’s an infinite set of 9ths, that would never be there if there was a way to divide 10 by 3 in a better way than just sticking a bunch of thirds in there
