Express 0.99999 ….. in the form p/q. Are you surprised by your answer? With your teacher and classmates discuss why the answer makes sense.
Let x = 0.9999…
Multiplying both sides by 10
10x = 9.9999…
10x = 9 + x
9x = 9
x = 1
The difference between 1 and 0.999999 is o.000001 which is negligible.
Hence, 0.999 is too much near to 1. Therefore, 1 as an answer can be justified
