Most of you probably already know this, but I just want to remind you:

1/3 x 3 = 9/9 = 1

1/3 = .33 (repeating infinitely)

.33 x 3 = .99 (repeating infinitely)

.99 infinitely repeating is exactly the same as 1; no adding or rounding to it.

If you're just learning this and this is breaking your mind, just think about it:

What can you add to .99 repeating infinitely to make it 1?

The answer is absolutely nothing. Your first thought may be: .00 infinitely repeating with a 1 at the end. Think about that for a second. If you didn't already catch it, infinitely repeating decimals don't have an end. Plus, why would 0's go on and on like that? The simple yet complex fact is that .99 repeating infinitely and 1 are the exact same thing, but you get each by different methods, as you can see above.

Tell this to your friends and acquaintances, and marvel as their mind undergoes a stack overflow, and then they call you a nerd.

Hello! I'm Nanotwerp, and you can probably tell by my profile that I'm pretty new here. As a bit of background detail, I came here from reddit. Most Snapzites seem to have came from reddit, apparently! I like that this website is still in its youth and developing; enough for me to claim a tribe all about dreams.

Aren't dreams some of the most interesting phenomena in the world? I could just imagine the confusion of the first person to ever sleep; some type of simulation of the person's known reality that they believe to be normal until they wake up. Dreams are amazing, and it surprises me by just how complex they can be. After I had a pretty disturbing dream yesterday, I started piecing things together about dreams. They take things from different areas of our surroundings and give their own spice to it. I just find it really interesting to discuss dreams and the discovery of the circumstances that caused the dream in our immediate environment. That's why I created this tribe. You could describe it as a community dream journal. If you're interested, join my new tribe /t/dreams !
