 let r = 0,99999999999...         10r = 9.9999999999...  substract ⇒ 9r = 9 ⇒ r = 1 = (1/1) = (2/2)=(n/n) ; n≠ 0

$$\:\mathrm{let}\:\mathrm{r}\:=\:\mathrm{0},\mathrm{99999999999}... \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{10r}\:=\:\mathrm{9}.\mathrm{9999999999}... \\ $$$$\mathrm{substract}\:\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{9r}\:=\:\mathrm{9}\:\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{r}\:=\:\mathrm{1}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{n}}{\mathrm{n}}\:;\:\mathrm{n}\neq\:\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$ \\ $$
