A score is a 'group of 20' in numbers. So, that would be 20 years. Lincoln's 'four score and seven' was to indicate 87 years.
A score is 20 years so four score means 80 and add 7 years to that?
four = 4, score = 20. 4 score is 4 x 20 = 80
Four times twenty is eighty. Add 7 and you get 87. *~* FINAL ANSWER*~* 87 Answer by Jackarooster
Four score years, or eight decades.
