Actually, no. **9.9 is greater than 9.11.**

Here is the easiest way to visualize it:

When comparing decimals, you compare the digits place by place, starting from the left.

*   Both numbers have a **9** in the ones place.
*   Next, you look at the tenths place (the first digit after the decimal point):
    *   9.**9** has a **9** in the tenths place.
    *   9.**1**1 has a **1** in the tenths place.

Since 9 is greater than 1, **9.9 is larger.**

Another way to see it is to make them the same length by adding a placeholder zero:
*   9.9 becomes **9.90**
*   9.11 stays **9.11**

It is much easier to see that **9.90** is greater than **9.11**.
