Comparing Decimals 9.11 and 9.8: Which is Greater?

To compare the decimals **9.11** and **9.8**, let's align the numbers by their decimal places:

- **9.11** is the same as **9.11**.
- **9.8** is equivalent to **9.80** (by adding a zero to match the decimal places).

Now, compare digit by digit:
- The whole number part is the same (both are 9).
- The tenths place: **1** in 9.11 vs. **8** in 9.80. Since 1 is less than 8, we move to the hundredths place.
- The hundredths place: **1** in 9.11 vs. **0** in 9.80.

Since 9.80 has a larger hundredths place digit than 9.11, **9.8 is greater than 9.11**.
