"Lost me here. How do you conclude that the answer will be less than 1, based on a previous calculation you did? My logic tells me that it's equal to 1. My calculator tells me that it's equal to 1. It seems to me like it should be equal to 1. Why isn't it?"

A.R.B

Because we are Calculating an Infinite Number!! and Calculators Round the Number up!!

Lets look at the Start again!

Infinite 0.9 "one Decimal place " x 1.1 = 0.99

Infinite 0.9" two Decimal place's " x 1.11 = 0.999

No matter how many times we Calculate the 1.1 " Decimal place's " " it is always less than 1

The reason being the .1 at the end of the Multiplied Value it starts with!! the Decimal point Value Difference! and because the Number is being Multiplied Infinitely will always be there!
The only way it can disappear! is by using an Algebra sign! or even the INT function

A.R.B

Firstly using fractions is not accurate! you cant get a true 1/3 Decimal Value!

i.e give me 3 Single Decimal Values of equal Value! that equal 1

Allowing for your mistake! you are now agreeing with me! that your version of Infinite 0.9 has come from the single Value of 0.333... x 3

But just as I said! from the first Decimal point onwards when there is a total Value of 0.9 this is the first single value for your version of Infinite 0.9

Now that's what I was waiting for!!

1 is divided by 0.9 = 1.111....." this proves 0.9 is less than 1 "

i'm now going to mutiply it so nothing will change!

0.9 x 1.111.... " will always equal a Value less than 1 " because 0.9 was divided within a greater Value! that Value being 1

It's very clear! a Child could understand this Calculation!!

A = 1 " " A.R.B = " " A = 1 "
B = 0.9            " Single Start Value For 0.9 " " A.R.B = " " B = 0.9 "
B = ( A/B ) x B    " Infinite 0.9 Value " " A.R.B = " " B = 1/0.9 x 1.111... "

As clear! as clear! can be!! Infinite 0.9 starts as 0.9 It then shows how it is/becomes Infinite!
I am afraid you have no argument! if you think you can just pluck a Value out of the sky! and call it an Infinite Number!

" why would A/B × B ≠ A? "

Because B is being Infinitely Multiplied by 1.1 which is .1 > 1

If the Number 1 was also Infinitely Multiplied by 1.1 it would again be greater than B

Thus Proving! a Number that starts with a Greater Value! and is Multiplied by the Same amount! will always be greater than another Number! that starts with a Lower Value!!

p.s Multiplying by Zero! is not possible!! because Zero! is not actually able to Multiply!!

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

                        RECURRING DEFINITION PROOF 03/03/07  by Anthony.R.Brown.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Definition for Recurring is given below..............................................................................

“ A Number that repeats itself Endlessly! Continuously repeating the same Number! “

Below are examples of Recurring Numbers! They are of course Endless! Length is example only! 

Recurring ( 0.1 ) = .111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Recurring ( 0.3 ) = .333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

Recurring ( 0.4 ) = .444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444

Recurring ( 0.5 ) = .555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555

Recurring ( 0.6 ) = .666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666

Recurring ( 0.7 ) = .777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777

Recurring ( 0.8 ) = .888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

The above examples are shown to be True! in the Calculations below! According to the Definition for Recurring!

( 0.1 ) Recurring < 1 and <> 1

( 0.2 ) Recurring < 1 and <> 1

( 0.3 ) Recurring < 1 and <> 1

( 0.4 ) Recurring < 1 and <> 1

( 0.5 ) Recurring < 1 and <> 1

( 0.6 ) Recurring < 1 and <> 1

( 0.7 ) Recurring < 1 and <> 1

( 0.8 ) Recurring < 1 and <> 1

( 0.9 ) Recurring < 1 and <> 1

Ok let's seperate your answer above!

we have the Value 1 above

and we have the Value 0.999... above

you say 1 = 1

you say 0.999... also = 1

so 1 + 1 must = 2

" C = A/B×B = A = 1

A.R.B

C = ( A/B ) = ( Infinite 1.111...) x ( 0.9 ) = ( Infinite 0.999...)

0.999... <> 1 Because of an Infinite Difference of ( 0.001... )

D = 1 - ( Infinite 0.999...) = Infinite Difference of ( 0.001... )
