89___89 the second 89 has a solid line on top of the number.

Is this equal or greater than or equal to 89 without the line

The second 89 with a solid line on top is a mathematical notation used to indicate that the number 89 is repeated indefinitely. It is called a "repeating decimal," and the line indicates that the digits after the line will repeat in a cyclical pattern.

To compare this to 89 without the line, we need to understand what value the repeating decimal represents. In this case, we have 89.8989... where the decimal part 8989... repeats indefinitely.

One way to determine if the repeating decimal is equal to or greater than 89 without the line is to express the repeating decimal as a fraction. We can assign a variable, such as x, to the repeating decimal, and set up an equation to solve for x.

Let x = 89.8989...

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 100 (to move the decimal point two places to the right) gives:

100x = 8989.8989...

Now, subtracting the original equation from the equation multiplied by 100 eliminates the repeating part:

100x - x = 8989.8989... - 89.8989...

Simplifying,

99x = 8900

Dividing both sides of the equation by 99,

x = 8900 / 99

Simplifying the fraction,

x = 89.899 (rounded to three decimal places)

Comparing this to the original number 89, we can see that 89.899 (with the line) is greater than 89 (without the line).
