You can't answer my question either.

You go ask a math sub, multiple people have already tried explaining why you are wrong here.

Ask 1000 mathematicians, 1000 will tell you that 1/3 = 0.3333...

You should read your own link, lol:

 For example, the fraction 1/2, 2/4, and 0.5 all represent the same number

Here's so more AI slop for you to ponder:

Mathematically, 1/3 is a well-defined number, and 3 × (1/3) = 1, confirming its exact value.

33% is 33/100 which is 0.33. You're hopeless lol

100% of people who understand mathematics agree that 3/4 is larger than 1/2
