Math Misconception Test

No, 9.11 is not greater than 9.9.

Let’s compare them step by step:

Step 1: Compare the whole number parts

• 9.11 → whole number part is 9
• 9.9 → whole number part is 9

→ They are equal, so we move to the decimal parts.

Step 2: Compare the decimal parts

We can write both numbers with the same number of decimal places for easier comparison:

• 9.11 → already has two decimal places
• 9.9 → can be written as 9.90

Now compare:

• 9.11 vs. 9.90

Look at the tenths place:

• 9.11 → 1 in the tenths place
• 9.90 → 9 in the tenths place

Since 1 < 9, we can conclude:

9.11 < 9.90, so 9.11 < 9.9

✅ Final Answer: No, 9.11 is less than 9.9.
