I need to think through this step-by-step.
Given information:
- Sally is a girl
- Sally has 3 brothers
- Each brother has 2 sisters
Let me work out how many sisters are in the family total.
If each of Sally's 3 brothers has 2 sisters, and all the brothers are in the same family, then there must be 2 sisters total in the family.
Since Sally is one of those sisters, and there are 2 sisters total, Sally must have 1 sister.
Therefore, Sally has 1 sister.

No, 9.11 is not greater than 9.9.
To compare these decimal numbers:
- 9.11 = 9.11
- 9.9 = 9.90
Since both numbers have the same whole number part (9), we compare the decimal parts:
- 0.11 vs 0.90
- 11 hundredths vs 90 hundredths
Therefore, 9.9 is greater than 9.11.
