an approximation
A close approximation to an actual value refers to a numerical estimate that is very near to the true value, often within an acceptable range of error. The degree of closeness can depend on the context and purpose of the approximation, with some fields requiring higher precision than others. Typically, the accuracy of an approximation is assessed using methods like percent error or absolute error. In practical applications, a close approximation can provide sufficient information for decision-making without needing the exact value.
Think of pi as infinity. It never ends. You might mean "3.14" as an approximation of pi, though.
7/8 is pretty close (less than .1% approximation)
0.3333... (keep going depending on how close an approximation you want).
The approximation wasn't exact, of course, but it was close enough.
Yes, to a very close approximation.

double and add 10% for a close approximation.

Approximation
The Boltzmann approximation can be used when the particles in a system are not too close together and when the temperature is not too low. This approximation simplifies the calculations of the behavior of particles in a gas by assuming that they move independently of each other.
