The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that 0.7, 0.70, and 0.700 are equivalent decimals. This means that they represent the same value. **Hint:** Think about how adding zeros after a decimal point affects the value of the number. ### Step 2: Analyze the Assertion When we look at the numbers: - 0.7 is the same as 0.70 because adding a zero after the decimal does not change the value. - Similarly, 0.70 is equivalent to 0.700 for the same reason. **Hint:** Consider how decimals work. Does adding zeros change the number? ### Step 3: Conclusion on the Assertion Since all three numbers represent the same value, we conclude that the assertion is true. ### Step 4: Understand the Reason The reason states that the number of zeros at the end of a decimal number changes the value of the number. **Hint:** Reflect on whether adding zeros at the end of a decimal number actually changes its value. ### Step 5: Analyze the Reason This statement is incorrect. Adding zeros at the end of a decimal number does not change its value. For example, 0.7, 0.70, and 0.700 all have the same value. **Hint:** Think about examples of other numbers, like whole numbers, to see if the same rule applies. ### Step 6: Conclusion on the Reason Since adding zeros does not change the value of the decimal, the reason is false. ### Final Conclusion - The assertion is true: 0.7, 0.70, and 0.700 are equivalent decimals. - The reason is false: The number of zeros at the end of a decimal number does not change the value of the number. Thus, the correct answer is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. ### Summary - **Assertion:** True - **Reason:** False
