let 0.9999999....=p  0.999999...=p  −−−−−−−−×10  9.9999...=10p  9+0.999...=10p  9+p=10p  9=9p  p=1
$$\mathrm{let}\:\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{9999999}….=\mathrm{p} \\ $$$$\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{999999}…=\mathrm{p} \\ $$$$−−−−−−−−×\mathrm{10} \\ $$$$\mathrm{9}.\mathrm{9999}…=\mathrm{10p} \\ $$$$\mathrm{9}+\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{999}…=\mathrm{10p} \\ $$$$\mathrm{9}+\mathrm{p}=\mathrm{10p} \\ $$$$\mathrm{9}=\mathrm{9p} \\ $$$$\mathrm{p}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$
