How Useful Are Real Numbers?

Real numbers are extremely useful in everyday life. That is probably one of the main reasons we all learn how to count and add and subtract from a very young age.

So what are typical examples of using real numbers in a normal day?

• Real numbers help us to count and to measure out quantities of different items. So for instance when you ask your partner how many slices of toast he or she wants for breakfast, you are using real numbers when they reply with their answer.

• In your working life, regardless of what you do for a living, you will still have to use numbers to a degree. Certainly those working in accounts and other financial related jobs may use real numbers more often but those working in retail, buying, catering and even publishing will have to use real numbers too. For example, in catering you may have to ask the client how many sandwiches they need for the event or in publishing you may need to tell an author how many pages you need their novel to be.

• Even when relaxing at the end of the day in front of the television flicking from one channel to the next you are using real numbers.

• When ringing your friend for a catch up you will also be inputting real numbers into your phone to give them a call.

Real numbers are very useful because we are using them in different purposes such as we will do additions and subractions when we go out.
