Question

The Han dynasty lasted from 206 B.C. to 9 A.D. How many years did the dynasty last?

Answer 1

The Han dynasty last was, 215 years

Explanation:

Given statement: The Han dynasty lasted from 206 B.C. to 9 A.D.

To find how many years did the dynasty last.

B.C. represents Before Christ

A.D. represents After Death

To find the difference between two dates,

• When the endings are the same you subtract

• When they are different you add

You can see that the endings in the given 206 B.C. and 9 A.D. are B.C. and A.D. are different.

Just add these 206 and 9 we get;

`206 + 9 = 215` years

Therefore, 215 years did the Han dynasty last.
