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.
