Did you know that a fraction and its decimal form have an infinite number of possible equivalents? For example, 0.2 is the same as 1/5, 2/10, 4/20 and so on. The number 0.999... (an infinite string of nines) is actually equal to 1 in decimal form, but it’s equal to 1/3 when written as a fraction. The number 0.3333... (an infinite string of threes) is actually equal to 1/3 when written as a fraction, but it’s equal to 1 in decimal form.
