the '/' sign means divide. both answers should be the same, because the decimals move up only once. it is like 10/100 (answer 0.1 or 1/10) and 100/1000 (same answer)
I hope this makes sense.

333/3333 is the same as 3330 / 33330 . At this point, if you add 3 to the numerator (to change it to 3333), you would need to add (3)(3333)/333 = (3333/111) or approx. 30 to the denominator, to keep numerator & denominator in the same ratio as before. This would increase the denominator to 33330 + (number > 30) = number > 33360. The result would be a fraction 3333 / (number > 33360), which is clearly < 3333 / 33333 .
3333 / 33333 is larger.

333/3333 has a slightly larger dividend however of the two options 3333/33333 is a larger quantity to start with
10.009 > 10.0009 just as 10.5 > 10.05

333/3333 = 1-3000/3333 = 1-1000/1111
3333/33333 = 1 - 30000/33333 = 1 - 10000/11111
Because 11,111,000= 11111*1000 > 1111 * 10000 =
= 11,110,000
333/3333 = 1-1000/1111 < 1 - 10000/11111 =
= 3333/33333

333 / 3333 = 1 / 10.009
3333 / 33333 = 10.0009
the bigger the denominator the lesser the number
since 10.009 > 10.0009 then
3333 / 33333 is larger

3333/33333 is larger...why?
The Numerator is 111/11 times larger and the denominator is 11111/1111 times larger.
Since the denominator is increased less then the numerator the number is larger.

3333/33333=((3333/33333)x10)+3/333333
Therefore 333/3333 is greater than 3333/33333 by 3/33333.

well 333/3333 is estamated as 10 because you gotta divide them cus of da line, and 3333/33333 is estamated as 10 with the same decimals behind them.

my guess is that both must be equal...but there is a chance that the first expression maybe negligibly greater then the second because of the seemingly recurring decimals that the difference maybe .000000000000000000000000091

divide by 3
a=111/1111 and b=1111/11111
a^-1=(10+1/111)^-1
b^-1=(10+1/1111)^-1
Can you see the answer?
