How would you actually add together 1 plus 90 plus 1900 in two different ways but showing all your work entirely in Roman numerals from start to finish with explanations?
In todays modern configurations of Roman numerals the equivalent of 1, 99 and 1900 are now officially set out as I, XCIX and MCM respectively which makes mathematical interaction amongst them quite difficult.
Yet there is evidence to suggest that the ancient Romans would have probably added together the equvalent of the given numbers in either of the following formats:-
A: I+IC+CMM = MM => 1+(100-1)+(2000-100) = 2000
B: I+LXXXXVIIII+MDCCCC = MM => 1+99+1900 = 2000
Note that for more complicated arithmetical problems the ancient Romans would have made use of an abacos calculating board.

How would you actually add together 1666 and 1999 in two different ways entirely in Roman numerals throughout both calculations with explanations?
See answer to question: ' How do you add together 1666 and 1999 in two different ways using Roman numerals'
What is the sum of 1999 and 2014 added together in two different ways entirely in Roman numerals with explanations?
MIM + MMXIV = MMMXIII or MMCXCIX + MMXIII = MMMXIII There is only one way to write the solution (3013)
How would you work out 1776 plus 549 in two different ways and 1776 minus 549 in two different ways but working out all four calculations entirely in Roman numerals with explanations?
Roman numerals are entirely inappropriate for doing such calculations. I believe the people in Roman times did such calculations on an abacus or something similar - which is basically similar to converting them to the Arabic numbers we use. If you really want to do it in Roman numerals - which is basically NOT a good idea - you would have to keep the thousands, hundreds, etc. separate, and handle carry (for addition) and borrowing (for subtraction).
When was Roman Numerals changed to numbers?
Bear in mind that Roman numerals actually are numbers, they are just not the kind of numbers that we presently use, which are called Arabic numerals. Arabic numerals were first used in Europe in the year 976 AD. Roman numerals still have not entirely fallen out of use, although for most purposes we use Arabic numerals.
How would you actually add together 1999 and 14 in two different ways entirely in Roman numerals with explanations?
Notwithstanding todays modern conversion of 1999 and 14 into Roman numerals which are MCMXCIX and XIV respectively inasmuch that there exist credible evidence to suggest that the ancient Romans would have added together the equivalent of 1999 and 14 in either of the following formats:- A: IMM+IXV = MMXIII => (2000-1)+(15-1) = 2013 B: MDCCCCLXXXXVIIII+XIIII = MMXIII => 1999+14 = 2013 Not that for more complicated calculations the ancient Romans would have used an abacus calculating device.

How would you work out 1776 plus 9 in two different ways and 1776 minus 9 in two different ways but working out all four calculations entirely in Roman numerals with explanations?
When 9 is converted into Roman numerals it is IX which is an abridged version of VIIII and so the required calculations are as follows:-MDCCLXXVI+IX = MDCCLXXXV => 1776+(10-1) = 1785MDCCLXXVI+VIIII = MDCCLXXXV => 1776+9 = 1785MDCCLXXVI-IX = MDCCLXVII => 1776-(10-1) = 1767MDCCLXXVI-VIIII = MDCCLXVII => 1776-9 = 1767Note that in mathematics -(10-1) changes to 1-10QED
How would you actually add together 666 and 999 in two different ways all in Roman numerals with explanations?
Notwithstanding todays modern conversion of 999 into Roman numerals which are CMXCIX inasmuch that the ancient Romans in all probability would have added together the equivalent of 666 and 999 in either of the following formats:-A: DCLXVI+IM = MDCLXV => 666+(1000-1) = 1665B: DCLXVI+DCCCCLXXXXVIIII = MDCLXV => 666+999 = 1665QED
How would you add together 51 plus 49 in two different ways and 51 minus 49 in two different ways but showing all calculations entirely in Roman numerals with explanations?
Doing arithmetic with Roman numerals is exasperating, and imho a pointless waste of time, except to demonstrate the obvious superiority of our "normal numbers," which use base-10 radix / positional notation that includes a zero digit as a placeholder. I'd venture to say science & technology -- commerce, too -- could never have developed in recent centuries if we still used Roman numerals for calculations. However, this web site explains some methods: http://turner.faculty.swau.edu/mathematics/materialslibrary/roman/
How would you subtract 1776 from 1999 in two different ways but entirely in Roman numerals with explanations?
The ancient Romans would have worked out 1776 on an abacus counting device as MDCCLXXVI and 1999 as MDCCCCLXXXXVIIII which can be abridged to IMM thus facilitating the speed and ease of subtraction in either of the following formats:- A: IMM-MDCCLXXVI = CCXXIII => (2000-1)-1776 = 223 B: MDCCCCLXXXXVIIII-MDCCLXXVI = CCXXIII => 1999-1776 = 223 Note that in todays modern configuration of Roman numerals 1999 is now considered to be MCMXCIX
What is a 5 letter word made up entirely of roman numerals?
The five letter word MIMIC can be formed from Roman numerals but as the individual numerals are in the wrong order it isn't a real Roman numeral.
How would you actually add together in two different ways 19 plus 62 plus 19 entirely in Roman numerals with explanations?
Nowadays we would express 19 in Roman numerals as XIX but in ancient Rome the equivalent of 19 was XVIIII or IXX thus facilitating the speed and ease of addition in either of the following formats:-IXX+LXII = LXXXI => (20-1)+62 = 81LXXXI+IXX = C => 81+(20-1) = 100Alternatively:-XVIIII+LXII = LXXXI => 19+62 = 81LXXXI+XVIIII = C => 81+19 = 100Note that the Latin word for XVIIII is novemdecim and and for IXX it is undeviginti but there is no Latin word for todays notation of 19 as XIX
How would you actually add together in two different ways 9 plus 19 plus 1999 entirely in Roman numerals?
The wrong way and the right way which is as follows:- IX+IXX = XXVIII => (10-1)+(20-1) = 28 XXVIII+IMM = MMXXVII => 28+(2000-1) = 2027
