Answer:

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)
