Roman Numerals

Question 1

5 Rules

Answer 1

1. when repeated, add them together.
   ex: III = I+I+I→3
2. when a SMALLER roman # is written to the RIGHT of a larger #, ADD
   ex: VI= V + I → 6
3. when a SMALLER roman # is written to the LEFT of a larger #, SUBTRACT
   ex: IX = X - I → 9
4. Do not use more than 3 of the same Roman # in a sequence.
   ex: IIII= 4 [wrong] , IV → 4
5. when rule 2 + 3 are in conflict, use rule 3
   ex: XIX= 21 [wrong] , XIX= 19
