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. |

Dang it, messed up.
Meant to type "0.333... * 3 = 0.999..." |

| 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. |
