Wait, did you take 1/3 * 3?
If you did, yes. Otherwise, no.

| Well it does not actually equal 1, but for all intents and purposes it might as well equal one. |

"u iddies u cnt round tht... u gotted divied it"
Translation for anyone that needs it:
You idiots, you can't round that . . . you've got to divide it.
False by the way. |

Ah, all this rant about infinity again.
For every time a 9 is added to the end, you get a little closer. Thing is, you never actually get there. But because the amount of 9's is infinity, it would logically be 1?
Let's try approaching this from the other side.
0.9999... + 0.00000...0001 = 1, right?
However, the amount 0's is infinity minus one. Now then, what is infinity - 1? It's still infinity, of course.
So basically, we have through a short rant revealed that the answer is YES.

No. It is 0.9999... If you round it up to the nearest integer, then yes, it is 1. |

Read my rant.
The infinite amount of 0's leave no space for the 1 at the end, meaning 1 - 0.99999... = 0.
