If 9.999... is not equal 10, you should be able to find a number between the two, but you can't.
That is an excellent way for me to understand it. Thank you so much.
(Only thing now is I have to admit I was wrong and he was right... )

Hello. I'm new to the boards and I'd be so grateful if someone could answer this question.
My boyf and I were arguing last night about whether 3.3 recurring + 6.6 recurring is 9.9 recurring or 10.
My boyf argued that 9.9recurring = 10 but I do not accept that this is true.
I studied Statistics at a UK university (I'm English) and he studied advance calculus at Berkley!!
Please help. Thank you.
