Anyway the problem is simply that 1/3 cannot really be accurately simplified beyond 1/3.. At least not with our system.
Gee...Why do you put so many sarcastic faces in your reply... are you mocking me that much? Lol.... Anyway, I understand now what you were getting at. I didn't understand where you were getting the 1.2 from all of a sudden. But the puzzle had to do with infinite amounts. You mean to say: 1/3 x 3 = 1. So, 0.3 x 3 should = 1. But 1/3 does not equal 0.3. I think the key to this is that while 1/3 must be a definite amount, 0.333..(infinity) is not definite, and the two should not be equated. 1/3 cannot be properly expressed in decimals. Correct me if I'm wrong? ~Peace
Sorry I just like that face. That's pretty much it, the last part you said. Well.. You can always go in between.. 1/2 = .5, .5/2 = .25, .25/2 = .125 etc.. You can keep going forever.
Other infinite oddities: -There are as many points on a line segment as there are on a (infinite) line. -There are as many even numbers as there are integers. -There are as many (whole number) fractions as there are integers.
