Why is point nine repeating equal to one?
To answer that question we should first talk about why any non-termination decimal number is equal to whatever it is. And to talk about that, we should first talk about the value of ordinary terminating decimals. Consider a terminating decimal, say 0.314. This decimal represents the sum of the fractions 3/10 + 1/100 + 4/1000; and longer (but still terminating) decimals can be computed in a similar way. But how do we decide what value a non-terminating decimal represents, say 0.314159265458979... and so on with a never-ending sequence of digits? By analogy, it should be equal to 3/10 + 1/100 + 4/1000 + 1/10,000 + ... and so on; but how can we figure out what such a never-ending sum adds up to? Well, one way of looking at it is as follows: Whatever value the decimal has, we know that (say)0.314 is off by no more than 0.001, since 0.314159... - 0.314 = 0.000159..., and 0.000159... is clearly < 0.001. Likewise, 0.3141 is off by no more than 0.0001, and 0.31415 is off by no more than 0.00001, and so on. In other words, the sequence of (terminating) decimals, 0.3, 0.31, 0.314, 0.3141, 0.31415, etc. gives us a list of better and better approximations to the ultimate value of the non-terminating decimal; and in fact by taking enough decimal places, the error in the approximation can be made as small as you like. If you've studied calculus, you may recognize this sort of discussion--it means that the value of the non-terminating decimal acts like the limit of the sequence of terminating decimals. In fact, it just *is* the limit of the sequence. So mathematicians have chosen to define the value of a non-terminating decimal as the limit of the sequence of approximations. Now we can talk about the specific case of 0.9 repeating: It turns out that the limit of the sequence 0.9, 0.99, 0.999, ... is just equal to 1, exactly (which should not be too hard to convince yourself of) and therefore the value of the non-terminating decimal 0.9 repeating is, by definition, equal to 1.

Why do three circles show the epicenter of an earthquake?
Each circle is actually the radius around a reporting station. To find an earthquake's epicenter, you need at least three reporting stations. The radius around each station should meet at one point, the epicenter. This point should be about the size of a town, depending on how close or far the reporting stations are. With any less than three reporting stations, the exact point of the epicenter may not be located.
When should a swift code be used?

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.

Is 1.33333 terminating decimal?
No, 1.33333 is not a terminating decimal. A terminating decimal is a decimal number that ends, or terminates, such as 0.75. In the case of 1.33333, the digit 3 repeats indefinitely, indicating that it is a repeating decimal rather than a terminating one.
