0.33 recurring is the decimal equivalent of one third
Multiply both expressions by 3 and you have 0.99 recurring = 3/3 = 1
* * * * *
That is rather a circular argument, because it begs the question why 0.33 recurring equal to a third.
Instead, suppose f = 0.99....
multiply both sides by 10
10f = 9.99...
and since both numbers are recurring there is a nine in the same position after the decimal point in both equations.
Subtracting the first from the second gives: 9f = 9
Divide both sides by 9 and you have f = 1
