I just show how .999... = 1
Let x = .999...
10x = 9.999...
10x - x = 9.999... - .999...
9x = 9
x=1
So according to the above .3333... shows as 3.
Let x = .3333...
10x = 3.333...
10x - x = 3.333... - .333...
9x = 3
x=3
But according to me, .333... should equal to .4 , isn't it?
I must be missing something simple, what is it?
Thank you.
