Math Misconception Test

No, 9.11 is not greater than 9.9. Here's the step-by-step reasoning:

1. Compare Whole Numbers: Both numbers have the same whole number part (9), so we focus on the decimal parts.
2. Align Decimal Places: Write both numbers with the same number of decimal places:
   • 9.11 → 9.11
   • 9.9 → 9.90 (appending a zero for clarity).
3. Compare Tenths and Hundredths:
   • The tenths place in 9.90 is 9 (greater than the 1 in 9.11).
   • Even though 9.11 has 1 hundredth, 9 tenths (0.90) outweigh 1 tenth and 1 hundredth (0.11).

Conclusion: 9.90 (9.9) > 9.11. Therefore, 9.11 is less than 9.9.
