A fractional number, typically used whenever quantities are measured, estimated, or computed from other real numbers, and represented using a decimal.

Examples: -30.67, 10.0086, 1.0

Applicable constraints:
1. precision - required number of decimal places
2. Min. value (inclusive) - i.e. value of instance >= Min. value
3. Max. value (inclusive) - i.e. value of instance <= Max. value
4. Min. value (exclusive) - i.e. value of instance > Min. value
5. Max. value (exclusive) - i.e. value of instance < Max. value

Note: PhysicalQuantity should be preferred over Real when representing real-world measurements.
