Infinite series question

Ok, in the above series, it equals 1. You get there by adding .9+.09+.009... and so on. My question is, does it actually equal 1 or is it an approximation? I don't need to know this for any particular reason, just doing my homework and got to thinking. :P

    GOD DAMN IT NOT AGAIN Yes. 0.9... [I]does[/I] equal 1. So many bloody proofs. Infinite series, algebra, simple division, those weird Couch sequences which I've heard of but never been able to proof because it's above my current level, etc.
