Step-by-Step Solution

To determine the correct answer, let's compare the answers to the number and find out which is larger:

0.71 - We'll add another 0 to compare between 0.709 and 0.710, since the hundredths digit is 1 and 1 is greater than 0, this is the correct answer.

0.69 - We'll add another 0 to compare between 0.709 and 0.690, since the tenths digit is 6 and 6 is less than 0, this is not the correct answer.

0.70 - We'll add another 0 to compare between 0.709 and 0.700, since the thousandths digit is 0 and 0 is less than 9, this is not the correct answer.

0.7 - We'll add two zeros to compare between 0.709 and 0.700, since the thousandths digit is 0 and 0 is less than 9, this is not the correct answer.
