even if you wanted to round
0.3333333...->0.3333
0.6666666...->0.666[b]7[/b]
0.3333+0.6667=?

1/3=/=0.33333

In exact values, the above statement that I typed is correct. one third is not the same thing as zero point three three three three three.

So if you rounded 1/3 to a few decimal places, and then multiplied by 3 expecting to get 1, you will most certainly get 0.99999.

Does this even count as math? lol. It's so simple.

first of all, this topic is not even a true statement. if u do 1/3 times 3, it equals 1 (pretty sure everyone knows), 0.3333333333333 times 3 = 0.999999999999999 therefor 1/3 =/= 0.33333333333

[quote=lucarioman55]SO... if 1/3=.3333333333333~ and 2/3=.666666666666666~ why doesnt 3/3=.999999999999999~?[/quote]

Because we can't actually write a precise decimal of 1/3 or 2/3.

school is over so who gives a crap

Cause 2/3 = 0.666666666666667.

Uh, it does, and it doesn't.

I don't really know.

It actually does.

B/c I like to round =).
