i believe your logic is flawed.

There's nothing wrong with it at all.. ITs the way you convert a repeating decimal to fraction..
eg..
n = .27272727......
100n =27.2727272727
100n -n = 27
99n = 27
n=27/99
27/99 = .2727272727272727
Or, how about an infinite geometric sum..
.999999999999= .9+.09+.009 +.0009 etc..
= sum .9*.1^n let n -> infinity= sum a*r^n where a = .9, r = .1.. = a/(1-r) = .9/(1-.1) = .9/.9 = 1
