Math Problem Statement
Which Number is Bigger: 9.9 or 9.11?
Solution
The number 9.9 is larger than 9.11.
Even though 9.11 appears to have more digits, when comparing decimal numbers, the comparison is done digit by digit from left to right. After the decimal point:
- 9.9 is equivalent to 9.90 when extended to the same number of decimal places.
- 9.90 is greater than 9.11.
So, 9.9 is bigger.
