See if she's smarter than you. Let x = 0.99999999 (repeating) 10x = 9.99999999 (repeating) 10x - x = 9x 9.999999999 - 0.999999999 = 9 9x = 9 x = 1 but we started with x = 0.999999999 I don't know what half of that shit means. _________________ 1660 Rhino High-Side with center console 90/65 Mercury 2 stroke Outboard jet pump Run shallow, run loud.

And 3.14285714 don't equal 22/7 - but it's dang close.... Thats what Aggies use.... A more accurate approximation of "pi" is 355/113.... _________________ Eat - Sleep - Hunt ! ! !

Let x = 0.99999999 (repeating) 10x = 9.99999999 (repeating) 10x - x = 9x 9.999999999 - 0.999999999 = 9 9x = 9 x = 1 but we started with x = 0.999999999 9.99999 (Rep.) - .9999 (Rep.) = 9 not 9x Because 10x is = to 9.99999 (Rep.) therefore : 9.999(Rep) - .999(Rep.) = 9 You start the problem w/ x as a constant @ .999(Rep.) it can't change , but it's close enough to one so round up. _________________ Shoot 1st ask later 14' leaker w/ 20hplt Shootin time Teal Season 2010 http://xrl.in/64aw #countdown
