    Answer: Answer:

    2 4/16 = 2 1/4 lb

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The pointer is 4 of the smallest units above 2. There are 16 of those small units. Each 2 of those units is 1/8 pound, so when the pointer is on a multiple of 2 units, it is on a multiple of 1/8 pound. No guesswork is required to choose the correct weight to the nearest 1/8 pound.

    2 4/16 = 2 1/4 lb . . . . the scale reading to the nearest 1/8 pound.
