Your answer is correct. The set of rational numbers best describes the displayed weights on a digital scale that shows each weight to the nearest half of a pound. Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as a ratio of two integers, where the denominator is not zero. In this case, the weights on the digital scale can be expressed as fractions, such as 1/2, 3/2, 5/2, etc., or as decimal numbers, such as 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, etc. Rational numbers include both integers and fractions, which makes it the most appropriate set to describe the weights on a scale that measures to the nearest half-pound.
