(Hint: Its true. And don't say that .33333333.... = 1/3, that's not proving anything, but just restating the problem).

I'm guessing you're counting on the round-off error that you would get with a calculator after performing a series of operations. The fact is that between any two distinct real numbers there is always another distinct real number so only 1 = 1.
