You can put this solution on YOUR website!
"The Eiffel Tower is located in France" is true

but


"all positive numbers are between 0 and 1" is false (counterexample: 2 is positive, but it's not between 0 and 1)


So the overall statement "The Eiffel Tower is located in France and all positive numbers are between 0 and 1" is False


Note: when using "and", both pieces have to be true for the whole thing to be true.
