Answer:
Decimal-based floating point numbers have similar 
problems, but with different numbers. For example
1.0/3.0 == 0.3333... without end.
All floating point schemes have these problems.  
Since binary has so many other advantages, most 
computers use it. Electronic calculators sometimes 
use hardware decimal-based calculations since 
they always present their results to humans. Also, 
mainframe computers have hardware decimal- 
based instructions for use in financial calculations.
