minus-squareblue@ttrpg.networkhexbear6·7 天前x = 5/9 is not 9/9. 5/9 = .55555... You're proving that 0.555... equals 5/9 (which it does), not that it equals 1 (which it doesn't). It's absolutely not the same result as x = 0.999... as you claim. linkfedilink
X=.5555...
10x=5.5555...
Subtract x from both sides.
9x=5
X=1 .5555 must equal 1.

x = 5/9 is not 9/9. 5/9 = .55555...
