I think it might be better to use 'there exists no number that you can add to .9r such that the result is 1' than 'there exists no number between .9r and 1'
For all the beans: 1 - .9r = _____
- For every x and y, where x and y are real numbers and x < y, there exists a positive real number, z, such that x + z = y.
- There exists no real number that you can add to .9r such that the result is 1, and vice versa
- Therefore, we can conclude that .9r = 1.
For all the beans: 1 - .9r = _____
