Devstral Medium's response to the 'Math Misconception Test' challenge.
Is 9.11 greater than 9.9?
No, 9.11 is not greater than 9.9. In fact, 9.11 is less than 9.9. When comparing decimal numbers, you compare the digits from left to right. The whole number parts are the same (9), but when you compare the tenths place, 9.9 has a 9 in the tenths place, while 9.11 has a 1 in the tenths place. Since 9 is greater than 1, 9.9 is greater than 9.11.
