Answer (2)
Let's solve each part of the question step by step, focusing on the comparison and addition of Roman numerals.
Fill in the blanks with >, <, or =:
a. VII vs VIII :
In Roman numerals, VII is 7 and VIII is 8. Therefore, VII < VIII.
b. XVI vs XI :
XVI is 16 and XI is 11. Therefore, XVI > XI.
d. XXVII vs 30 + 20 :
XXVII is 27. 30 + 20 equals 50. Therefore, XXVII < 50.
e. 90 - 20 vs LV :
90 - 20 equals 70. LV is 55. Therefore, 70 > LV.
Write your answer in Roman numbers:
a. L + XV =
L is 50, XV is 15. 50 + 15 = 65, which is LXV in Roman numerals. b. X + XIV =
X is 10, XIV is 14. 10 + 14 = 24, written as XXIV in Roman numerals. c. XXVI + XXIV =
XXVI is 26, XXIV is 24. 26 + 24 = 50, which is L in Roman numerals. d. VIII + IV =
VIII is 8, IV is 4. 8 + 4 = 12, which is XII in Roman numerals. e. XX + XXIV =
XX is 20, XXIV is 24. 20 + 24 = 44, written as XLIV in Roman numerals. f. XXXVII + XIX =
XXXVII is 37, XIX is 19. 37 + 19 = 56, which is LVI in Roman numerals.
By following the Roman numeral system, we can accurately compare and calculate the given expressions using these ancient numeral conventions. This exercise requires understanding of both Roman numeral values and basic addition. Each comparison or calculation needed a careful conversion from Roman numerals to Arabic numerals, and vice versa, to ensure accuracy.
This response details the comparisons of various Roman numerals and computes the sums of given Roman numeral expressions. It shows the relationship between each pair (using >, <, or =) and provides the results of addition in Roman numerals. The careful analysis aids in understanding basic Roman numeral arithmetic and comparisons.
