Can you just put one clear Question forward at a time! and make is clear! not multiple replys!

0.555... = 0.5? But I know that 0.555... is the same as 5/9, and 0.5 is the same as 1/2, so there's a difference between them of 1/18, obviously not equal. Or, if you want to avoid fractions, I know that 0.5 < 0.54321 < 0.555..., so if there's a number between the other two numbers, how are they equal? "

This Math has nothing to do with Infinite Recurring Numbers!

So if half of 0.000...1 = 0.000...5, then what is 0.000...1 * 5? When there's an infinite number of 0s before the 1, how do you add one zero to show that the 5 is actually smaller than the 1, and not bigger than it? "

A.R.B

Why are you trying to Calculate x 5 what has this to do with what you asked!

0.000...1 = 0.000...5, then what is 0.000...1 * 5?

0.1 / 2 = 0.05  so 0.05 x 2 will always be equal to 0.1 again!

If 0.999... is 0.000...1 difference from 1, where 0.000...1 has an infinite amount of 0s, followed by(?) a 1, then what is half of the value of 0.000...1?

A.R.B

0.1 / 2 = 0.05 and another example 0.01 / 2 = 0.005 Infinite example = ( 0.001...) / 2 = ( 0.0005...)

For any two numbers that are not equal, we should be able to find the average of those two numbers, being equal to half the difference between them. So the average of 0.999... and 1 should be equal to 0.999... + (0.000...1 / 2), so I'm wondering how you believe we'd be able
to do that math, and what the answer should be?

A.R.B

0.9 / 2 = 0.45 and another example 0.99 / 2 = 0.495 Infinite example = ( 0.999...) / 2 = ( 0.4995...)

So ( 0.9 ) = ( 0.45 ) + ( 0.05 ) = 0.50

So ( 0.99 ) = ( 0.495 ) + ( 0.005 ) = 0.50

and Infinite ( 0.999...) = ( 0.4995...) + ( 0.0005...) = 0.50

Also, you conveniently answered only half of post # 587, pointing out that my initial translation of it was incorrect, but then never actually answering my correct translation of it, by explaining how 0.555.... = 0.5, when there's a 0.0555... difference between them.

A.R.B

If your 0.555... is an Infinite Recurring ( 0.5 ) then as we all know the Value is Infinitely Repeating Itself! so the Value will always be the same! length makes no difference!

Infinite Recurring ( 0.5 ) = 0.5 because! ( 0.5 ) will always = 0.5

we are only talking about Infinite Recurring ( 0.2 )  the 0.2 Value is endless! so must always have the same Value!

THE DEFINITIVE REASON INFINITE/RECURRING 0.9 IS < 1 AND <> 1  10/03/07
by Anthony.R.Brown
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

( 1 ) If any Number Starts or has a Zero followed by a Decimal point at the beginning! it will always be < 1 and <>  1 if no additional Math is applied to the Number!

( 2 ) Numbers that conform to ( 1 ) as examples are 0.1 to 0.9

( 3 ) Infinite/Recurring Numbers have no end! the Numbers repeat themselves endlessly!

( 4 ) Because Infinite/Recurring Numbers are always the same Number being repeated,we don't need to try and write down many as examples,because the Number is always the same.

( 5 ) An example for ( 4 ) is  Infinite/Recurring ( 0.9 ) = 0.9 the reason this is True is because the Number never changes!

( 6 ) The same can be applied to any Infinite/Recurring ( N ) = N

( 7 ) From ( 5 ) and ( 6 ) we can prove Infinite/Recurring ( 0. 1 ) to ( 0.9 ) < 1 and <> 1

1 - ( 0.1 ) = 0.9 and <> 1
1 - ( 0.2 ) = 0.8 and <> 1
1 - ( 0.3 ) = 0.7 and <> 1
1 - ( 0.4 ) = 0.6 and <> 1
1 - ( 0.5 ) = 0.5 and <> 1
1 - ( 0.6 ) = 0.4 and <> 1
1 - ( 0.7 ) = 0.3 and <> 1
1 - ( 0.8 ) = 0.2 and <> 1
1 - ( 0.9 ) = 0.1 and <> 1

INFINITE 0.9 <> 1 PROOF : THE INFINITE 10 % PERCENT DIFFERENCE 03/03/07 
by Anthony.R.Brown.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the most Accurate and sound ways to prove Infinite 0.9 <> 1 is to give the Infinite Percent Difference Values from the Start Onwards!

The example below is for the first Ten Decimal Place's,which clearly shows the count increasing as more and more Infinite .9's are looked at! But remain a constant Difference of 10% in relation to how far the example has traveled.

Count = ...... ( 1 ).....( 2 )....( 3 )...( 4 )....( 5 )...( 6 )....( 7 )....( 8 )....( 9 ).....( 10 )

Infinite 10 %
Difference =..(10%).(10%).(10%).(10%).(10%).(10%).(10%).(10%).(10%)...(10%)


Infinite 0.9 = ( 0.9 ) ( 1.8 )  ( 2.7 ) ( 3.6 )  ( 4.5 ) ( 5.4 ) ( 6.3 )  ( 7.2 ) ( 8.1 )  (  9   )

................... ( x 1 ) ( x 2 )  ( x 3 ) ( x 4 )  ( x 5 ) ( x 6 ) ( x 7 )  ( x 8 ) ( x 9 )  ( x 10 )

Infinite 0.9 Onwards! there will always be a 10 % Difference making it Impossible for Infinite 0.9 to ever = 1
