What is 89.5 in Roman numerals?
89.5 in Roman numerals is LXXXVIIIIS which can be simplified to SXC (100-10.5) Source of information: 'History of Mathematics' by David Eugene Smith.
How can you explain that 1999.5 minus 1910 equals SXC in Roman numerals?
Nowadays the equivalent of 1999.5-1910 = 89.5 in Roman numerals would be something like this MCMXCIXS-MCMX = LXXXIXS which doesn't seem to make any logical sense. Irrespective of today's notation of Roman numerals consider the following:- MDCCCCLXXXXVIIIIS can be simplified to SMM (1999.5 = 2000-0.5) MDCCCCX can be simplified to CMMX (1910 = 2010-100) LXXXVIIIIS can be simplified to SXC (89.5 = 100-10.5) So it follows that: SMM-CMMX = SXC (1999.5-1900 = 89.5) Remember that a minus minus is a plus so (-S+MM)-(-C+MM+X) = -S-X+C = SXC The real rules governing the Roman numeral system were probably changed during the Middle Ages when the Hindu-Arabic numeral system was gradually being introduced into Western Europe presumably to make it easier to convert Roman numerals into Hindu-Arabic numerals and vice versa for trading purposes. Roman numerals: M=1000, D=500, C=100, L=50, X=10, V=5, I=1 and S=0.5 Source of information: 'History of Mathematics' volume 2 by David Eugene Smith first published in 1925 and ISBN 0486 204 308
How would you tot up 89.5 79.5 19 and 14 in Roman numerals giving step by step instructions and clear reasons for your answer?
Because of gradual changes over the past centuries the way we write out Roman numerals today to represent a quantity is different to the way that the Romans actually did themselves. But there is evidence to suggest that the Romans would have probably wrote out the above numerals in a simplified form of SXC, SXXC, IXX and IXV because:- SXC is a simplification of LXXXVIIIIS (-10.5+100 = 89.5) SXXC is a simplification of LXXVIIIIS (-20.5+100 = 79.5) IXX is a simplification of XVIIII (-1+20 = 19) IXV is a simplification of XIIII (-1+15 = 14) Simplification is obtained by placing equal values to both sides of the numerals but in opposite directions. They then would have probably added them up in the following manner:- SXC+SXXC = ICLXX (169) ICLXX+IXX = IIXCC (188) IIXCC+IXV = CCII (202) In his reference book about ancient numeracy systems entitled "History of Mathematics" volume 2 by David Eugene Smith first published in 1925 and ISBN 0486 204 308 examples are given that the Romans would sometimes simplify their numeracy system in the above manner. Presumably this was done in order to use less numerals for a given value. Roman numerals: M=1000, D=500, C=100, L=50, X=10, V=5, I=1 and S=1/2
What is 89 and a half in roman numerals?
LXXXIX is eighty nine. I'm not sure if there is a way to represent a half or not.Improved Answer:In today's modern conversion it's LXXXIXS but the Romans themselves would have probably calculated 89 and a 1/2 on a abacus counting device as LXXXVIIIIS and then wrote it out as SXC (-10.5+100 = 89.5)Evidence of converting 89 and a 1/2 into Roman numerals as SXC can be found in the book "History of Mathematics volume II" by David Eugene Smith first published in 1925.The problem of wrongly converting Hindu-Arabic numerals into Roman numerals arises from the fact that today's rules governing the Roman numeral system were introduced during the Middle Ages and that was centuries after the demise of the Roman Empire.Roman numerals: M=1000, D=500, C=100, L=50, X=10, V=5, I=1 and S=1/2
