Wait, Mousekin just pointed something interesting out.

3/3 is 1, because three divided by three equals one.
1/3 is 0.333...
0.333... = 0.999...
(1/3)3 = 3/3

So ACTUALLY, 0.9999 ≈ 1 but also = 1 too.

AdorableFerretsRus, I think 0.999 is equal to 1 only if it is actually pointed out that the .999 goes on for ever, school taught me to write it like 0.99(9).. idk if right

Oh, you must live in England.

Here in America, we just write a bar on top of the number. So it would be like

_
9

Except in the same line (can't do it without an underscore).

If you were to round it, then yes.
