minus-squareColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 years agoYou’re just rounding up an irrational number. You have a non terminating, non repeating number, that will go on forever, because it can never actually get up to its whole value.
x=.9999…
10x=9.9999…
Subtract x from both sides
9x=9
x=1
There it is, folks.

Divide 1 by 3: 1÷3=0.3333…
