Answer 1

According to the table, the given stack of numerals correspond to

15

7

19

13

11

0

(A shortcut for reading these numbers: each bar represents 5 and each dot represents 1. The disk just means 0. So for instance, 13 = 5 + 5 + 3 = 2 bars + 3 dots.)

Mayan numerals are expressed in base 20, so the number above is equivalent to

15×20⁵ + 7×20⁴ + 19×20³ + 13×20² + 11×20¹ + 0×20⁰

= 49,277,420
