A student claims that \(0.999\ldots\) is less than \(1\) because all its finite decimal forms, such as \(0.9\) and \(0.99\), are less than \(1\). Which is the correct evaluation of this claim?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Letting \(x=0.999\ldots\), \(10x-x=9\), so \(x=1\).

Let \(x=0.999\ldots\). Then \(10x=9.999\ldots\); subtracting gives \(9x=9\), hence \(x=1\). Finite truncations are smaller, but their limit is \(1\). Exam tip: use the \(10x-x\) method for recurring decimals.
