Yes. Imagine slicing a pie into ten pieces. If you take 9 of the 10 pieces you have nine tenth. If you take 3 of the 10 pieces you have three tenth. Clearly 9 pieces of pie are more than 3. If you are comparing two numbers that are both fractions of tenths, you can just look at the numbers on the top to see what is larger.
