That post doesn't make this right:

O'rly? That my post says exactly the following:

See what??? Just replace it with a right number which is 0.6 (you may consider it random if you want) and copy-paste it into http://instacalc.com/ like this:

-25/27 * 0.6 + 8/9

So what's the result? Isn't it 0.3(3)? Isn't 0.3(3) = 1/3 or isn't 0.6 = 3/5?

Feel free to ask more questions if you don't understand something.
So you don't agree that -25/27x = (-25/27)x ???

be sure to check it on with a calculator. I.e. copy-paste these formulas into http://instacalc.com/ :
1) -25/27*54
2) (-25/27)*54

Let me know if you'll get a different result with one of the formulas above, professor

Hint: Both -25/27*54 and (-25/27)*54 ARE ABSOLUTELY EQUAL and they both = -50

Furthermore, -25/27 * 0.6 + 8/9 is EQUAL to (-25/27) * 0.6 + 8/9 and it is 1/3 . Surprised?
