No, they are not equal.
0.333 != 0.3333 != 0.33333 != 1/3
0.333... = 0.333~ = 1/3
Maybe you should consult your nearest math book.
You tried being a smart-ass and got called on it, and now you're bringing up semantics? In mathematics?

they do a basic proof of .999 repeating = 1 in any introductory higher math/logic course.
but yah, not this again : (

As I said before, it is common to leave off the ... when it is implied that you are talking about an infinitely repeating number. I was not refuting that .333 (terminating) does not equal 1. Most people on this board think .333... does not equal 1/3, which is what I was addressing.
Edit: pwned myself

1/3 = .333
2/3 = .666
3/3 = 1
3/3 = .99999999999999.......
1 = .99999...
That is all:beer:
8/9 = 9/9 - 1/9, amirite?
That's like, 1.000... - 0.111...
That's like, 0.999...
So, 8/9 = 0.999..., but 0.999... = 1, so 8/9 = 1, amirite?
W00t, just eliminated another of those pesky numbers from the real number system.
Better yet, 0.999...is a rational number (being a repeating decimal and all). Since we are all smarter than a 5th grader, we know the other wonderful property of all rational numbers, that being there exist integers A & B such that A/B = 0.999...
A homework assignment for all the jeanyuses out there is to come up with integers A & B such that A/B = 0.999...
Once we establish that 0.999... is even a number, then we can discuss it's equality with other numbers.

.999~ - .111~ = .8888~
SORRY SIR.

Nine nine nine
Fantastic number nine
It's perfectly consistent
It works out every time
Nine nine nine
That crazy number nine
Times any number
you can find
It all comes back to nine
Two times nine is eighteen
Eight and one is nine
Three times nine is twenty-seven
Seven and two is nine
Four times nine is thirty-six
Six and three is nine
Five times nine is forty-five
Five and four is nine
Six times nine is fifty-four
Five and four is nine
Seven times nine is sixty-three
Six and three is nine
Eight times nine is seventy-two
Seven and two is nine
Nine times nine is eighty-on
Eight and one is nine
Nine nine nine
Fantastic number nine
It's perfectly consistent
It works out every time
Nine nine nine
That crazy number nine
Times any number
you can find
It all comes back to nine
Nine times ten is ninety
Just drop the zero sign
Nine times eleven is ninety-nine
Makes me rhyme with another line
Then nine and nine is eighteen
And eight and one is nine
Times any number
you can find
It all comes back to nine
This work for bigger numbers, too?
Yup. Let's try this'un: three thousand four hundred'n eighty seven
Hmm ... nine times three thousand four hundred eighty seven is
Thirty-one thousand three hundred eighty-three
Three plus one plus three plus eight plus three is eighteen;
One plus eight is nine.
It always works!

urrong, amirite?
Edit:
Oh, A = 1; B = 1; A/B = .9999... There you go
