1 Divided By 3

LMFAO!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

It feels bad to get your bubble burst in public - doesn’t it.

I don’t do that often - but - at times —

I don’t know, I haven’t experienced that yet.

LMFAO :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Most of my laughing is from being happy that you FINALLY get it! Good job!

You are related to O’Biden are you?

  • sounds like it. :laughing:

So let’s try out your new information:

1 Dozen divided into 3 equal parts = ???

It’s hard to believe that you are still trying to debate this - especially with me.

1 Dozen divided in 3 equal parts = 4 equal parts.

Next?

I think you might be one of the very rare cases that is too stupid to learn.

1 Dozen divided by 3 = .333… Dozen. The division can’t be completed. There are 3 parts of .333… and 1 part that is the remainder, that can’t be divided equally by 3, so it goes on infinitely!

But we know that 12 eggs can be divided into 3 equal parts of 4, or 4/12=1/3. But .333… x 3 = .999… NOT 1.0

Are you like smoking something? :-k

I didn’t say what you said - YOU said “1 Dozen divided by 3 = .333… Dozen”

What I said was that 1 dozen divided by 3 = 4.

Keep your quotes straight mate (if your drugs allow for that).

1 Stack / 3 = ???

Change tactic?

One stack of 3 divided by 3 = 1/3 stack of 3.

You have 1 stack and divide it into 3 parts. Each part is .333… of a stack, or 33.333…% of a stack.

We just went over this. Your ego getting the best of you?

Or are you being intellectually dishonest?

Or just too stupid to get it?

You keep saying that - despite what I say.
How about you prove it.

Projecting mate.

Dude wtf.

You come bursting in here as an expert on bases (which is what this discussion is really about) and you don’t know the first thing about bases.

Dude.

I can make infinite symbols man.

That’s base infinity.

We’re all basically in teaching mode right now.

And I’ll tell you something.

Don’t be ashamed to learn something.

We’re all learning.

You did not prove that 1/3 cannot be represented in base 9, Motor Daddy.

You also did not prove that 3 times 1 / 3 is less than 1.

You’ve merely shown that you’re working with false premises.

Note that the “9” in the statement “base 9” is a base 10 number. There is no number “9” in base “9.” The base 9 equivalent to the 9 in base 10 is 10. It is a “1” in the “Nines” decimal position. It’s like “10” in base 10 is a 1 in the “Tens” decimal position.

There is no number 10 in base 10, or any base. 10.0 is a 1 in the 2nd decimal position to the left of the decimal point. In base 10 that is the “Tens” decimal position, and in base 9 it is the “Nines” decimal position. LOL

In base 9, 10.0 means “1 Nine.” In base 10, 10.0 means “1 Ten.”

Again, the numbers are 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

The base 9 “.1” is equal to the base 10 '.111…"
So the base 9 “.1” and the base 10 “.111…” are both equal to the base 10 11.111…% of 1.0

The base 9 “.3” is equal to the base 10 “.333…”
So the base 9 “.3” and the base 10 “.333…” are both equal to the base 10 33.333…% of 1.0

In base 9, 1.0 is broken down into the base 10 equivalent of 9 parts (“10” parts in base 9 ( a 1 in the “Nines” decimal position in base 9)).

In base 10 1.0 is broken down into 10 parts (a 1 in the “Tens” decimal position in base 10).

The 9 (base 10 “9”) parts of 1.0 in base 9 are:

.1
.2
.3
.4
.5
.6
.7
.8
1.0

The 10 parts of 1.0 in base 10 are:

.1
.2
.3
.4
.5
.6
.7
.8
.9
1.0

If you disagree with this then tell me what the new numbers are.

I already showed you this process, do I need to post it yet again??

Both Obsrvr and motor cannot seem to have an honest disagreement with others without it turning into an insult. Next time either one of you calls someone stupid, narcissistic, etc, for just having a thought that disagrees with your own, there’s going to be moderator action.

If you can’t say “I disagree with you, and here’s why” WITHOUT throwing a personal jab into it, you’re not doing a very good job at philosophy.

I apologize for my actions. I temporarily lost control when I let my emotions get the best of me.

No. It’s not a base yet. There’s no placeholder yet.

Placeholders are what make bases.

In base 9, there is

1.0
2.0
3.0
4.0
5.0
6.0
7.0
8.0
10.0

There is no “9.0” so there is no such thing as saying “base 9” in that world. In that world it is base 10 (which means a 1 in the Nines decimal position.)
