In the discrete number system, there is no number btween 5 and 6, but are they equal?
But I believe 0.9r =1
There are many numbers between 5 and 6.
For example: 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 57. 5.8, 5.9 and all the decimals in between.
Unlike 0.9r where there literally can't be a number between it and 1 otherwise it wouldn't be 0.9r.

What Rhizo said and what I said gave proof that this is nonsense.
There is a difference between there being a number between 5 and 6 and a number between 0.9r which has 9s that go on for infinity! What number could you fit between?! 0.9r can't have numbers in between or it wouldn't be 0.9r, unlike 5 and 6 which you can of course have numbers in between.
