AI explanation

To find the approximate value, we can round the numbers to convenient figures: 9999 becomes 10000 and 99 becomes 100. The expression becomes 10000 divided by 100 divided by 9. First, 10000 divided by 100 equals 100. Then, dividing 100 by 9 gives a value of approximately 11.11, making 11 the closest option.
