Incorrect. Someone forgot how to convert fractions to decimals.
3/3 = 1. 100% of the time. Always. Any fraction in which the numerator and denominator are equal non-zero values is equal to 1. Let's go back to the time-honored "pizza analogy", shall we?
You have three pizzas. Your three pizzas (as a "whole entity" of food) are separated into three parts. How big is each of the three parts of three pizzas? One pizza. 1. Uno.
You see, you guys are looking at this "paradox" the wrong way. The paradox lies within the fallacy of attempting "accurate" math using the infinite. You might as well divide by zero. In fact, I'll try that now...
OH SHI-
