Given a positive number, delta, however small, by selecting a long enough string of 9s it is possible to get closer to 1 than delta. Since the choice of delta is arbitrary, it is possible to get arbitrarily close to 1. This means that in the limit, the decimal 0.999... (repeating) equals 1.

How do you know that 0.36 is a repeating decimal?
0.36 is NOT a repeating decimal but a terminating one.
How do you know when to put the bar on a repeating decimal?
The bar is only used for repeating decimals. If it is repeating, you can use it.
What is the difference between a terminating decimal and a repeating decimal?

How do I know 4/11 is a repeating decimal?

How can you figure out if a decimal is repeating?
You know a decimal is repeating when you keep getting the same remainder and you keep adding the same decimal onto the end. On calculators it may be expressed as, as an example, 0.6666667. When writing a reoccurring (repeating) decimal it is usually expressed as one decimal with a line over the top of it.
How do you know if 2 is a rational number?
first you think that is 2 a repeating decimal.... and can u reduce it if its not a repeating decimal and u cant reduce it then it is a rational number
If you know the decimal for one tenth how can you find the decimal for two thirds?
2/3 = 0.6666 repeating
How do you know if a decimal is terminating or repeating?
If you know what rational fraction it represents then, if the denominator in the fraction's simplest form has any prime factor other than 2 and 5, then it is a repeating decimal and if not it is terminating.Otherwise you need to examine the digits of the decimal representation in detail. Remember though, that the repeating string could be thousands of digits long (or even longer).
What is one and five sixths equal to in a decimal?
1.833 recurring or, simply put 1.83 with a bar over the 3 to show that it a repeating digit. i just don't know how to type that though.
Is 0.875 a repeating or terminating decimal?
Since 0.875 has a defined endpoint, it is a terminating decimal.
When 2 over 8 is a decimal is the decimal repeating or terminating?
2/8 can be reduced to 1/4, which you should know to be .25 in decimal form. Because the decimal "terminates" after the hundredths place, it is a terminating decimal. An example of a repeating decimal would be 1/3. This would come out to be .333333... (etc.) Most calculators will display something like 2/3 as .6666667 placing the 7 on their last available digit displayer as a means of rounding the repeating decimal.
What is meaning of repeating decimals?
If I understand your question, you want to know the meaning of the phrase "repeating decimal". It just means an infinite decimal expansion (a decimal with infinitely many digits) in which, from some point on, the same digit or group of digits just keeps repeating forever. Every rational number (fraction) has a decimal that either terminates (in which case it can be considered to be a repeating decimal in which the digit 0 keeps repeating; 1/2 = 0.5 = 0.5000000000...) or repeats. An irrational number has a decimal expansion that never repeats. For example, 1/3 = 0.33333333333...; 1/7 = 0.142857142857142857...; 1/30 = 0.03333333333.... and is often represented with a line above the repeating number
