Question

The figure 370 is written in Roman Numerals as :

• A. CDXX
• B. LLLDXX
• C. CCCLXX
• D. CCXLL

Answer 1

Answer:

C. CCCLXX

• Roman Numerals is a number system created by the ancient Romans, starting between 900 and 800 B.C. Initially, this number system was dominant and people used it everywhere: for counting, in trading, or any other business that used numbers.
• In fact today, they are still widely used in watches, games, and how we represent a year.
• So, 370 in Roman Numerals would be a combination of some of the 7 modern Roman letters (e.g. X, V, D, M or I) while following several rules in using those letters.
• 370 = 100 + 100 + 100 + 50 + 10 + 10 = CCCLXX
• As you can see, we can break down 370 by seeing which of the biggest numbers fit and then finding smaller ones to add up to/subtract while following the given rules. As a result, we see that 370 in Roman Numerals is CCCLXX.
