First: a maths problem i'm sure most of us know - 0.99 recurring x 10 - 0.99 recurring =9
this states that 0.99 recurring is = 1 and so does the equation
1/3=0.3'
however when you multiply out 0.3' you get 0.9' which means that 0.9' and 1 are the same, however 0.9' is not 1, but slightly less
my understanding of maths however, is that one numerical value cannot be the same as another
does this mean maths is flawed?
if so, is there a number system under which these problems do not occur?
