Question

What is the difference between an approximate answer and exact answer

Answer 1

Approximate means about, and exact means, spot on, not approximate, like the exact answer of 3+3 is 6 hope it helps!!

Answer 2

An example would be 1/3 as an exact answer and 0.33 as an approximate answer because 1/3 = 0.333..... - a recurring decimal where there are an infinite number of 3's. 0.33 would be correct to the nearest hundredth.

Radicals are exact answers :- like √2 , √5 . Approximate value for √2 is 1.414
