Both weight and size are quantities that (for all practical purposes) can vary continuously, that is, it makes sense to use decimals. However, depending on the units used, anything after the decimal point may be too small to matter. For example, when measuring the height of a person in centimeters, it is difficult to even measure exactly to a precision greater than about 1 cm. - and the fractions of a centimeter are not relevant in any case.
