Thing is if .9999... = 1 and .1111...= .2 then that would mean .xxxx... doesn't even count as a number therefore there is no reason to show it as a quantity.
There is a reason this is represented as a decimal, and it isn't just to have a fancy way of saying the next number up.
Sorry mike, I didn't mean .111.. = .2, that is not true at all, that reply was to allyson. How are you saying it isn't a number?
