Whenever the numbers you need to multiply are not whole numbers.

As an example, to calculate the total price of some item you are buying

from shop, when the unit price is expressed in euros/kilogram, and neither

the unit price nor the amount of kilograms you want are whole numbers.

Also, most every time you pump gasoline into your car.
