Math Misconception Test

No, 9.11 is not greater than 9.9.

Here's why:

1. Compare the whole number part: Both numbers have 9 as the whole number p art, so they are equal so fa r. 2. Compare the tenths place (the first digit afte r the decimal):
   • 9.11 has 1 in the tenths place.
   • 9.9 has 9 in the tenths place.
2. Since 1 is less than 9, 9.11 is less than 9.9.

You can also think of it as 9.9 being the same as 9.90. Comparing 9.11 and 9.90, it's easier to see that 11 (hundredths) is less than 90 (hundredths).
