How can 1/3 multiplied by 3 give us 1 if 1/3 is the repeating decimal .3 to an infinite number of decimal places? If you multiplied 3 * .3 with an infinite number of repeating 3's wouldn't you get .9 with an infinite number of 9's repeating? Why do we say that (1/3) = .3 repeating and when you multiply that times 3 you get 1 instead of .9 repeating?
