I'm guessing whatever it scraped to generate this was intended for divvying up food rather than doing actual math. 1/3 plus a third of a third is close enough to a half if you're talking about portioning out pizza or leftovers or what have you.
Yep, the difference between .444... And .5 is only .0555...

divvying up - dividing food into equal proportions - is math.
