You’ve got the numbers reversed! :blush:

Think of it like this:

  • Whole Numbers: Both numbers start with the whole number “9.”
  • Decimal Point: Everything after the decimal point represents less than a whole number.
  • Tenths Place: 9. 11 has a “1” in the tenths place, while 9. 9 has a “9” in the tenths place. Since 9 is greater than 1, 9.9 is bigger.

Let me know if you’d like more examples!

ChatGPT got it wrong! It’s easy to get tricked by decimals.

9.9 is still bigger than 9.11. Here’s why:

  • Focus on the tenths place: The tenths place is the most important after the whole number. 9. 9 vs. 9. 11 . Since 9 is bigger than 1, 9.9 is the larger number.

Don’t let the extra digits fool you! :blush:
