this is boring. lets prove how 1=2. That's even cooler.

Given that a = b
so a*b = a*a
then divide both sides by zero
and thus 1 = 2

Dividing by 0...

I just dont get why .9 repeating exists if it equals 1...

Because the decimal system is imperfect.

Ideally there would be uniques representations for every real number. But there are other qualities of the decimal system which make up for that minor quirk.

Now there's an answer I can understand. So it means I was not wrong for wondering, because the decimal system is imperfect, in other words, wrong.

So that makes me right for wondering.

No. You are wrong and in fact you continue to be clueless.

Ummm, no.

Now i understand why .99999 instead of 1. Because the decimal system is imperfect.
