Question

The roman numeral lvii represents which of these numbers?

Answer 1

42

L = 50

X = 10

I = 1

Roman numbers are written from left to right with the largest number first. If a smaller number is written before a larger number, it is subtracted from the larger number. So here we have 50 less 10 which gives us 40. The II gives us the number 2, which we add to the 40 as each I follows the larger number.


hope this helps!
