Technically no

0.3333.... repeats infinitely. The 0.333...4 is not an infinitely repeating number. And since 0.333... is, there's no room to add that 4 anywhere

Which is why adding them up you get 0.999..... which is exactly and completely equal to 1

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
