Let the infinite sequence 0.999... be multiplied by 10. Does the number of nines grow?
Corollary-question: Does the number of nines grow when in 0.999 the decimal point is shifted by one or more position?
Huh? .999 * 10 = 9.99
The number of nines is still three.
Want to make it grow by one more nine? Try:
.999 / 10 + .9 = .9999
