Mathematically you are correct. However the Ubuntu version isn't a 
'number', like 9.1 or 12.23... 9.10 means (2009 10th month). Ubuntu 
releases always come out in either April or October, hence the releases 
are always X.04 or X.10

So, shorting 9.10 to 9.1 in this case is wrong, as that implies January 
2009, not October.
