User: 9.11 and 9.9 - which is bigger?

9.11 and 9.9 - which is bigger?

Assistant: 9.9 is larger than 9.11.

9.9 is larger than 9.11.

Explanation:

• When comparing decimals, align the decimal places: - 9.9 = 9.90 - 9.11 = 9.11
• Compare digit by digit: - Whole number part: both are 9 - Tenths place: 9 (in 9.90) vs 1 (in 9.11)

Since 9 > 1, 9.9 > 9.11.

This confusion commonly arises because people incorrectly treat decimals like version numbers rather than numeric values.
