Question

Help Mr. Paul in finding an equivalent decimal.

• A. 0.300
• B. 0.003
• C. 0.03
• D. 3.0

Answer 1

The correct option is A 0.300

Let's place the number in a place value chart.


We can see that '0' falls under 'ones' place and '3' falls under 'tens' place.

As we know, to the left of the decimal, adding '0' before a number does not change the value.
Similarly, to the right of the decimal point, adding '0' beyond a number does not change the value.

Hence, among the given options, 0.300 represents the same decimal number as 0.3.
Hence, this is the correct option.
