True or False: Sumerians developed a math system based on the number one hundred.

False. The Sumerians developed a complex and accurate system of arithmetic based on the numbers sixty, ten, and one. They also invented the 360 degrees used to measure angles in geometry and a system of timekeeping that used a 60-second minute. However, they did not base their math system on the number one hundred.
