Last week in class we spent a few minutes debating and discussing whether .9 repeating equals 1. I encouraged you to share this question with others to get more input. Here are some interesting links to check out about the subject...

First, a blog about the issue:

Second, the Wikipedia article (if it's in Wikipedia, it must be true, right?!?!?!?)
