L = 50 and XL means 10 less than 50, which is 40.
40. (X=10, L=50. A 1 or 10-multiple letter placed BEFORE a larger number subtracts from it. This applies only to the next two larger numbers, a 5-value and a 10-value.) XL = 40, L = 50, XC = 90, C =100 (but not IC, VC, or LC)40. When a larger number is preceded by a smaller, the smaller is subtracted from the larger. Since L, which is 50, is preceded by X, which is 10, the answer is 50-10=40.
No.
In Roman numerals, the number 40 is represented as "XL." The letter "X" represents 10, and "L" represents 50. When a smaller numeral appears before a larger one, it is subtracted from the larger numeral, so "XL" represents 50 - 10 = 40.
40 when a smaller number comes before a larger number in roman numerals it is subtracted from the larger number X meaning ten L meaning 50 X before L 50-10=40
