Hey Paul...
I don't know your scale... but if the setting is pounds and OUNCES, then the first digit is pounds (it shows only one zero because there's no weight on it yet.), and the next two digits are for the number of ounces... two places up to 15, because at "16" (ounces), it would just flip over to one more pound.
1.01 = one pound, one ounce.
1.12 = one pound, twelve ounces.
But it the setting is just POUNDS, then the first digit to the right of the decimal point is TENTHS of a pound with the second digit to the right of the decimal would be HUNDREDTHS of a pound.
1.01 = one and one-hundredth pounds
1.12 = one and 12-hundredths pounds
1.40 = one and 4-tenths or 40 hundredths pounds.
It's one or the other depending on the calibration of the scale.
Hope that helps!
