MATHS, MY DUDE

[SuperOptimisticJumpingNoodleSquad]

0.999… = 1 exactly, folks. Watch this:
1/3 = 0.333…
3*1/3 = 3*0.333…
3/3 = 0.999…
1 = 0.999…
It’s true! Tell your friends.

[Masøn M.]

I’m confused… But that’s okay…

Such beautiful maths.

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Very beautiful maths.

[Manalive Smith]

Let’s say we want to add up every number between 1 and 100.

1+2+3+4+5+6+7+….+100
That would take a while unless you rearrange the numbers.

1+100+2+99+3+98+4+97+5+96+….+51+50

which equals

101 +101 +101 + 101 + 101 +101 + 101 +… + 101
Now it’s a multiplication problem
101*50

1+2+3+4+5+6+7+….+100 = 5050
