Counting kids, I have 2.3 kids
Money, you owe me $0.00034
Measurement is the big one:
25.0m by 16.1345345m can only truly be accurate to one decimal place because 25.0 could be inaccurate at two decimal places.

Or if you go to the USA, for some reason they do things in a measurement called inches and do calculations in whole number fractions!

ummmmmmmmmmm @doc.brown you cant have 2.3 kids

doc.brown · Answer

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm exactly, If the average in Nepal is 2.3 kids per household you would have to round the number to talk about actual kids, by saying most households have 2 kids.  Perfect situation for rounding!
