I assume you mean .999 repeating (your repeating sign is somehow over the "D" in "Does")

I'm not that great at math, but my friend is.

bringst3hgrind (9:28:10 PM): ok
bringst3hgrind (9:28:11 PM): um
bringst3hgrind (9:28:12 PM): let
bringst3hgrind (9:28:19 PM): x = .999999 repeating
bringst3hgrind (9:28:31 PM): so
bringst3hgrind (9:28:43 PM): 10x = 9.999999999999999999
bringst3hgrind (9:28:56 PM): subtract x from both sides
bringst3hgrind (9:29:01 PM): 9x = 9
bringst3hgrind (9:29:04 PM): x = 1
