For almost the whole of year12 (and various flare ups since) this debate (well similar) would come up. The argument for us was if 1/3 = 0.333(repeater), does 0.333(repeater) x 3 = 1, or 0.999(repeater). Half said its 1, the other half (including me) said it was 0.999(repeater).
Whats the point of the word 'infinity' if people always just assume repeated infinite values are whole numbers?
