Answer:
No, Luca is not correct. It's actually 100x larger.
Explanation:
When you go to the left, the value of the digits increase.
9 in the tens place means 90, and 9 in the thousands means 9000.
In Gale's number, 9 is in the hundreths place.
In Luca's number, 9 is in the ones place.
9 in the hundreths means 9/100.
9 in the ones mean 9.
