Answer:

Ramon's mistake was that he used whole numbers in comparison to decimals, which is not an accurate way to solve. Think about it this way, 0.1 is the tens place, 0.01 is the hundreds place. Which would be greater 100% of the time? The hundreds place, in decimal terms, the hundredths.

0.09 is greater than 0.1
