HopingForBetter ,

To add a bit of fun to this, try the following:

  1. Open your calculator app and enter: 1/0.9

Does it equal 1? No.

  1. Ok, now add a "9" to the end of the second number.

Does it equal 1? No.

Ok, repeat step 2 and eventually it will equal 1. Why?

Is it that we are incapable of indefinitely dividing? No, the previous steps showed it just takes a few more steps and the answer doesn't equal 1.

Hope you enjoy!
