Depends. Three examples:

1) 0.99999 =/= 1 , two separate numbers.
2) 0.9 (repeating, with a line above the 9 indicating it's infinite) = 1
3) 0.99999 = 1 only if the professor wants you to round it.

Typically, some professors doesn't want answered to be rounded to a certain decimal point. Some might! 0.9-repeating means it's constant 9's, so most people consider that as 1. I certainly consider that as '1', myself. My reasons are already up.
