I know the Arithmetic proof and everything but how to explain this practically to a kid who just started understanding the numbers?

Answer 1

An explanation I haven’t seen here:

Between every 2 different numbers there’s an infinite amount of numbers. Try to think of a single number between 0.9999…. and 1: there is none, because it’s the same number.
