Roman numeral true and false exercises with answers ans explanations
-
Answer with True (T) or False (F).
- The symbol V can be repeated up to three times in a row. (T / F)
- The symbol M can be placed before D to mean subtraction. (T / F)
- The number 500 can be written as D or . (T / F)
- The number 4000 can be written as MMMM or . (T / F)
- The number 2020 can be written as MMXX or . (T / F)
- The symbol X can be placed before L or C to mean subtraction. (T / F)
- The symbol I can be placed before V or X to mean subtraction. (T / F)
- The number 47 can be written as XLVII or VLVII. (T / F)
- The number 49 can be written as IL or XLIX. (T / F)
- The number 1000 can be written as M or
- The number 2020 can be written as MMXX or . (T / F)
Answers of roman numeral true and false exercises:
- False. The symbol V can only be repeated once in a row.
- False. The symbol M can only be placed after D to mean addition.
- False. The number 500 can be written only as D. is an alternative way of writing large numbers using a horizontal line over a symbol to multiply it by 1000. So equals to 5000.
- True. The number 4000 can be written as MMMM or , which is another way of using the horizontal line over a symbol.
- False. The number 2020 can be written as MMXX (1000 + 1000 + 10 + 10), while
- The number 2020 can be written as MMXX or (20 x 1000) is equal to 20000.
- True. The symbol X can be placed before L or C to mean subtraction. For example, XL = 40 (50 - 10), XC = 90 (100 - 10).
- True. The symbol I can be placed before V or X to mean subtraction. For example, IV = 4 (5 - 1), IX = 9 (10 - 1).
- False. The number 47 can only be written as XLVII (10 - 50 + 5 + 1 + 1 = 40 + 7).
- False. The number 49 can only be written as XLIX, not IL, because you cannot subtract more than one order of magnitude from another (i.e., you cannot subtract hundreds from thousands, tens from hundreds, or ones from tens).
- True. The number 1000 can be written as M or , which is 1 x 1000.

- To read or write a whole number in figures or words, you need to know the names of the place values, such as ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, millions, billions, etc. You also need to know how to use commas and hyphens to separate the groups of digits or words.
- To read or write a decimal number in figures or words, you need to know the names of the decimal place values, such as tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc. You also need to know how to use a decimal point and a word like "and" or "point" to separate the whole part from the decimal part.
- To read or write a number in Roman numerals, you need to know the symbols that represent different values, such as I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), M (1000). You must also know how to combine or subtract the symbols to form different numbers.
