13.730 = 13.73
Idea: A zero at the end of a decimal does not change the value.
Step 1: Write each number using place value (as fractions).
For 13.730:
\(13.730 = 13 + \tfrac{7}{10} + \tfrac{3}{100} + \tfrac{0}{1000}\)
For 13.73:
\(13.73 = 13 + \tfrac{7}{10} + \tfrac{3}{100}\)
Step 2: Notice that \(\tfrac{0}{1000} = 0\).
So, \(13 + \tfrac{7}{10} + \tfrac{3}{100} + 0 = 13 + \tfrac{7}{10} + \tfrac{3}{100}\).
Step 3: Both numbers are the same.
Therefore, \(13.730 = 13.73\).
Conclusion: The statement is True.
