1/3=0.333...

2/3=0.666...

3/3=0.999...=1

Fractions and base 10 are two different systems. You're only approximating what 1/3 is when you write out 0.3333...

The ... is because you can't actually make it correct in base 10.

The fractions are still in base 10 lmfao literally what the fuck are you talking about and where are getting this from?

You keep getting basic shit wrong, and it makes you look dumb. Stop talking and go read a wiki.
