FACT: 0,999...(infinite 9s) = 1

And I can prove it to you if you don't see the logic to begin with

There are many proofs but I will start out with this one:

X = 0,999...(infinite 9s)

We multiply with 10 on each side:
(and yes you can do that, because it's not the number that is infinite it is the trails of 9s)

10X = 9,999... (infinite 9s)

We etract 1 X on each side:

10X - X = 9.999... - 0,999...

9X = 9

We devide on both sides with 9

9X/9 = 9/9

X = 1

There you have it.

So what does GFY think does 0,999... = 1?
