u can't prove something that's not true. i wondered the same thing, only using ninths (1/9 = .111~, 2/9 = .222~, etc.; so 9/9 should = .999~, right?). some rules have more significance than others, that being: when a number is divided by itself, the quotient = 1. u simply can't prove that .999~ = 1 because the two rules that define each contradict.

My first is in take, but not in give.
My second is in die, and also in live.
My third is in go, but not in stop.
My fourth is in raise, but not in drop.
My last is in where, but not in who.
My whole is a beast you see at the zoo.
What am I?there's more to life than meets the eye, but don't let that get you down.
