Answer:


0.09 < 0.1

Explanation:

Remember that it doesn't matter how many numbers are after the tenths place of a decimal point what matters is the tenths place itself. If you have a decimal that has dozens of numbers but it's tenth place is a 3 and then you have a decimal with 5 numbers in whole but it's tenths place is 4, the 4 is greater then the 3 simply because it's greater in tenths.

Hope this helps.
