[split] 0.999... equals 1

"the "..." denotes infinity"

Actually you read mine, because I dealt with that.

You said 0.3r isn't a third because 0.3 multiplied by 3 is 0.9, not 1.0 But I said 0.3r not 0.3...

It denotes an infinite string of 3s on the end in the case of 0.3, and an infinite string of 9s in the case of 0.9, not the same as simply 0.3 or 0.9.

0.3r is not one third, because multiplied by 3 it equals 0.9... & not 1

That's fallacious reasoning you see. Because 0.3r is not the same number as 0.3. 0.3 X 3 is indeed 0.9...but 0.3r is not. 0.3r= 0.33333333333333333333333.... so is of course not the same as simply 0.3
