(i) True. Every decimal number corresponds to a unique point on a number line.

(ii) True. By definition, fractions with denominator 10, 100, 1000, … are called decimal fractions.

(iii) True. For a decimal number with 3 decimal places, the denominator of its decimal fraction is 1000.

(iv) True. For example, 3.7 = 3.70 = 3.700.

(v) False. When a decimal number is multiplied by 10, the decimal point moves by one place to the right, not to the left.
