Answer:

False

Explanation:

Given


XLIV = 64

Required

True or False

The above numeral can be split as follows:


XLIV = XL + IV

X means 10 and L means 50.

But because X (10) which is smaller comes before L (50), XL is executed as:


XL = -10 + 50


XL = 40

In Roman numerals;


IV = 4

Substitute 40 for XL and 4 for IV.


XLIV = 40 + 4


XLIV = 44

Hence;


XLIV = 64 is false
