Rounded result from Wolfram Alpha

Posted 1 month ago

A very simple maths query displays the result 0.166667 when the exact result is 1/6 .
Wolfram alpha should at least indicate that 0.166667 is rounded.
Why is wolfram alpha imprecise in this instance?

Input was: 1/3 * p^2 − 0.5(1/3 *p)^2 − (1/3 *p)^2 enter image description here

Try your example with 1/2 replacing 0.5
