"0.111... + 0.111... + 0.888... = 1.0"
this is really bad maths
note that:
0.111....+ 0.888... = 0.999... = 1.0
i.e 1/9 + 8/9 = 9/9 - exomni, on 02/24/2008, -1/+18 + 1 = 9.
8 + 1 + 1 = 10.
You fail. - Justiciero, on 02/24/2008, -1/+0this is really simple maths you are messing up. these are RECURRING decimals
you've stated that
8 + 1 + 1 = 10
thus 0.8 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 1
note that 0.888.... (that is, 0.8 recurring) is larger than 0.8
and 0.111 (0.1 recurring) is larger than 0.1
so how can 0.111... + 0.111...+ 0.888... = 1 when all the numbers are larger?
smh...get a calculator
