Question

How are repeating decimals used in real-world situations

Answer 1

repetting decimaps are when you divide and it keeps on going on and on

Answer 2

Repeated decimals are used in real-world situations such as calculating volumes of cones and spheres

Explanation:

we know that

A repeating decimal is a decimal in which after a certain point a particular digit or sequence of digits repeats itself indefinitely.

Example A

The number
`(1)/(3)` is a repeating decimal because

`(1)/(3)=0.3333...`

The number
`(1)/(3)` is used in real world situation to calculate the volume of a cone

`V=(1)/(3)\pi r^(2) h`

Example B

The number
`(4)/(3)` is a repeating decimal because

`(4)/(3)=1.3333...`

The number
`(4)/(3)` is used in real world situation to calculate the volume of a sphere

`V=(4)/(3)\pi r^(3)`
