Math Misconception Test

No, 9.11 is not greater than 9.9.

When comparing decimals, you look at the digits in the same place value. Here, the tenths place is the first digit after the decimal point:

• 9.9 has a 9 in the tenths place.
• 9.11 has a 1 in the tenths place.

Since 9 is greater than 1, 9.9 is greater than 9.11.
