minus-square Cassa ( @Cassa@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) linkfedilink5•1 month agoWouldn’t it be like 9.99 into infinity? 🤔 and since the human population (at least currently living) is not infinete, then at some 9.999999 there wouldn’t be anyone with a higher value? (I don’t know math)
minus-square Cassa ( @Cassa@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) linkfedilink5•1 month agono, not really. In engineering math, sure but theoretical math it’s not
minus-square Sas [she/her] ( @Sas@beehaw.org ) linkfedilink2•edit-21 month agoIt is in theoretical math as well. I just woke up and don’t know the proof by heart but there is a proof for 0.99 repeating being true equal to 1.
minus-square Loki ( @Loki@discuss.tchncs.de ) linkfedilink1•1 month agoWhat’s 3 * 1/3? What’s 3 * 0.3333333…?

0.9999… is equal to 1, so no

What’s 3 * 1/3? What’s 3 * 0.3333333…?
