The Roman

Roman numerals use an additive system (e.g. VII = 7) and a subtractive system (e.g. IX = 9). How would you explain to your students how to read the Roman numeral MMXIX? Also, state the answer.

Final Answer:

x =  2019

Step-by-step explanation:

MMXIX M=1000 X=10 I=1  x=1000+1000+10+(101)=2019

Compare the Egyptian and the Babylonian numeration systems in terms of the number of symbols, functionality and possible uses by answering the questions below:
a) Write down the similarities and differences between the two systems.
b) Are these numeration systems still used today? Do your own research and then try to give reasons with references for your answer.  
c) Do we still use the Roman numeration system today? If so, give examples from your own environment.
