rational numbers - How can I explain $0.999ldots=1$?

I have to explain $0.999\ldots=1$ to people who don't know limit.

How can I explain $0.999\ldots=1$?

The common procedure is as follows

\begin{align}
x&=0.999\ldots\\
10x&=9.999\ldots
\end{align}

$9x=9$ so $x=1$.

Answer

What I always find the most simple explanation is:

$$
\frac{1}{3} = 0.333\ldots \quad \Longrightarrow \quad 1 = 3 \cdot \frac{1}{3} = 3 \cdot 0.333\ldots = 0.999\ldots
$$
