What is an example of when you might need to use decimals and other rational numbers in everyday life?

Well, in the store, when you buy something, there are decimals, also, speed limit for your car, and time, but that is not an exact thing for this question, because 60 can't be a decimal. you cant make it so you can show 60 seconds as a decimal without an irrational number. sometimes, the number just goes on forever.
