What are . pounds?

I’ve always wondered what the . pounds are? For example, two days ago I was 354.6, but today I’m 354.4. If any of you know what it is, lmk thanks 😎

Tenths of pounds

Most likely its tenths of a pound, but if the number goes above 10 at any point or has two digits before the decimal, it's probably ounces. If it's from 0-9, its tenths of a pound, if it's from 0-15, its ounces. I dont think very many scales do ounces from what I've seen though

Yeah, and body weight scales measure in two tenths. I've never gotten a reading of (for instance) 140.5. It will be 140.4 or 140.6. So I guess body weight scales measure in the even percentages, in 0.2 increments.

It depends upon the scale.

My current scale measures to the one tenth. Well, it purports to measure to the one tenth. Whether it's actually capable of being that accurate or just claiming that it is, who knows.

hm.

Well, I don't really believe mine is 0.2 accurate, either! I'm thinking of going back to an old-school scale. Next time I see one at the Goodwill, I'm buying it.

Mine measures in quarters of a pound- 0.25 lbs

The dot is the decimal point that tells you that you weigh slightly more than 354 pounds, 6 tenths of a pound more to be exact.
