what is 1/3
Putting a decimal point in front does not alter the result.

10/30
no seriously
Well 3/9 differs from 3/10
See?
Case Closed!
1/3 = 0.333...
1/3 = 0.333..., multiply both sides by 3: 3/3 = 0.999...
so 2/3 = 0.6666666666...
so 3/3 = 0.9999999999...
but at the same time 3/3 = 1
so 1 = 0.99999999999999...
Now tell me where I went wrong zeroth
I just thought of something, Brilliant!
9/9 does not equal 9/10
9/99 does not equal 99/100
See if you can discern the pattern!
But if 3/3 = 1
And 3/3 also seems to equal 0.999999
Wouldnt the more logical thing be to assume that 0.33333 isnt an exact representation of 1/3 since it infinite for that reason?

It just goes on and on, but it doesn't hit it.
Like a guy who talks too much in a date. Or something that you all represent.

how? I'd like to see you link up some sources.
????? I am so confused 😕 so 1/3 is 0.33333 but 3/3 is 0.99999 but 0.999999 does not equal 1 whereas 3/3 DOES equal one? Does that make sense?

that is what the whole argument is about

Yep. It does DUDE!
Again do you think we are idiots

Yeah, but as always, I'm late to the conversation.
How come 3 is not a third of 10? And 33 is not a third of 100?
And written as 1 billion 3 is not a third of 10^9. It simply CAN'T transpose or covert.
Bump
9 does not equal 10
99 does not equal 100
999 does not equal 1,000
.999 does not equal 1. A decimal point with 9 billion 9's still has a remainder and it ain't 1!
Get my drift?
