Perhaps 0.9 recurring -> 1 (tends towards 1) as you increase the decimal places. How's that?
Tricky... Does 0.33333recurring=1/3? If so, (0.33333recurring)*3=(1/3)*3, giving 0.99999recurring=1. Don't think this is what's meant by 'tending to' in mathematics - that's more to do with what happens when a variable approaches infinity, which it obviously cannot reach.
Although I could be wrong, it's years since I've actually done any maths.... MR SHOULD'VE PAID ATTENTION AT UNI FACE
