Question 1:
1.1.1
If a symbol representing a smaller value is written just before a symbol representing a larger
value, we have to subtract the smaller value from the large value.
5-1= 4(IV)



1.1.2
If a symbol representing a smaller value is written just after a symbol representing a larger
value, we have to add the smaller value to the large value.
5+1=6 (VI)


1.1.3
X stands for 10. So here we can see that we have 10(X) and then another 10-1 (IX) because
the I stands before the X we know we have to subtract to find the answer.
10+9=10 (XIX)




1.1.4
L stands for 50 and X for 10. The X comes after the L which means we need to add them
together which gives us 60. Then we have the I for 1 and V for 5. The I stands before the V
which means we need to subtract 5-1. This will give us 4.
50+10+5-1=64

, 1.1.5
Here we see the X for 10 and C for 100. The X stands before the C which n=means we need
to subtract 100-10=90. Then we see an I for 1 and X for 10. Again the I stands before the X
which means we need to subtract again. 10-1=9.
100-10+10-1=99


1.2
The Hindu-Arabic numeral system


1.3
 Gives the ability to count up to 1000
 Gives the ability to accurately and fluently add single digit number
 Gives the ability to write numbers up to 1000
 Due to having a 0 it is easier to work with addition, subtraction, division and
multiplication operations.
 It has a places system, so each different form of number (113, 311, 131) will mean
something different.
