The system works perfectly, it just looks wonky in base 10. In base 3 0.333… looks like 0.1, exactly 0.1

Do you know what an irrational number is?

Sure, let’s do it in base 3. 3 in base 3 is 10, and 3^(-1) is 10^(-1), so:
1/3 in base 10 = 1/10 in base 3 0.3… in base 10 = 0.1 in base 3
Multiply by 3 on both sides:
3 × 0.3… in base 10 = 10 × 0.1 in base 3 0.9… in base 10 = 1 in base 3.
But 1 in base 3 is also 1 in base 10, so:
0.9… in base 10 = 1 in base 10
