Thread: Maths Point!

  1. #1
    33.3%=1/3(one third)

    yeah everyone understand that.

    so times 33.3% by 3 to get 1 (three thirds)

    33.3%X3=99.9% so 1=99.9% not 100%


    ah the maths world have been blown apart!!!

    i beat the system!!!

    Not really - 33.3% is an approximation to 3 significant figures (or 1 decimal point) of one third. i.e. while 33.3% is similar to a third, it is not equal to a third (or to be truly technical, exactly identical to a third).

    So while 1/3 * 3 = 3/3 = 1, 33.3% x 3 = 99.9% = 0.99, NOT 1.

    Sorry about that - Approximations can be a bitch

    yes true BUT

    no matter how many decimal point u go to it still works 33.3333333333%X3=99.9999999999

    33.3333333=99.9999999%

    yet it is still 1/3 not equalling 1.

    ha i beat the system AND Illuminati!

    It's really 33.33 repeater, but thanks for the valiant effort. I would love to see the world of maths blown apart.
