The domain is the set input values, it means the number of tons that can be deliver.

The type of numbers that are possible are the positive rational numbers. This is because you can order 1, 2, 2.5, 1/3 tons but you can not order -6, -4.4 or -0.3 tons.

It means that the type of numbers that are possible for the domain are the possitive rational numbers.
