found out I was one of the top people of the grade ((y'know, the averages of all your averages are 80%+)), one of my friends is going to a special school for smart people, and one of my friends is extremely giftedMegamario15 said:
the others are also doing really well, none of us have less than a 70% average ((same system as my case, average of all your averages))
guess what? we don't always use punctuation or capitals
because this isn't a test on writing

well everyone was talking about how it equals 1Megamario15 said:
so I guess that's the decision if that's how you're looking at it

now leave him alone, what he thinks is just as valid as what everyone else thinks
By definition, .999... is a rational number. However, 1 is also a rational number, but it is in 3 other groups, while .999... is in only one. If they really were one and the same, they would be in all of the same groups.Cirdec said:
Let's try multiplying both values by 2. When we do that, we result in 1.999...8 and 2. Now, you will try to tell me that those are the same.Cirdec said:

besides, whatever non-existent number you wrote rounds up to 2 anyways

OK. So, an example from earlier was 1/3 + 2/3 = 1, and .333... + .66*... = .999..., so they must be equal?
That's like saying 33 + 66 = 100. (It doesn't)
That's like saying 33 + 66 = 100. (It doesn't)
Megamario15 said:
Dude, you're arguing against several people with an obviously much deeper understanding of mathematical principles, one of which is a MATH TEACHER.
Admitting defeat honestly is the only reasonable thing you can do at this point.
Who's the math teacher?Genji said:
