question
Pg 85 Convert Roman Numeral To arabic
answer
1. Write from left to right as a sum 2. Start with largest, M = 1000, D = 500, C = 100, L = 50, X = 10, I = 1 3. When I, X, or C is used to left of larger, it is subtracted MCCXXXIV = 1234
question
Convert Arabic to Roman Numeral
answer
1. Write left to write 2. Convert each place value 3. I, X, C may be written two or three times in a row as long as they NOT followed by a larger value 4. Use I, X, C to left of larger values to indicate subtraction from larger values 5. V, L, D never used to left of larger values 6. V, L, and D never used more than on time
