8/2 is an integer because it hasn't been completely simplified to 4.
0.999... is an alternate representation of 1, just as 8/2 is an alternate representation of 4. Visually different, but the same number.
One can also "simplify" 0.999... (which is really an infinite series, 9*10^-n from 1 to infinity) to 1.
