Answer:

They might be equal actually

Step-by-step explanation:

Well
0.01 is actually bigger if we don't see
0.009999999999999 as
0.00\overline9 as
0.00\overline9 and
0.01 are actually equal. However your questionnaire might mean
0.009999999999999 as
0.00\overline9 so you might want to clarify that with your teacher.

Proof of
\bold{0.01 = 0.00\overline9}:

We let
x = 0.00\overline9


x = 0.00\overline9 \\ x * 10 = 0.00\overline9 * 10 \\ 10x = 0.09\overline9 \\ 10x -x = 0.09\overline9 - 0.00\overline9 \\ 9x = 0.09 \\ (9x)/(9) = (0.09)/(9) \\ x = 0.01
