in roman numerals, letters represent numbers. for example, I=1,V=5,X=10,L=50,C=100. letters in roman numerals are written next to each other; this is how the value of the number is shown. to read the numbers below, add the values of all of the letters. what numbers do the following represent

a.CLX b.LVI c.CIII

a. CLX = 160

I'll be glad to check your answers for b and c.

A = 160

B = 56
C = 103

To determine the values represented by the given Roman numerals, we need to add up the values of the letters.

a. CLX:
C represents 100, L represents 50, and X represents 10. To find the total value, we add these numbers together:
100 + 50 + 10 = 160

Therefore, CLX represents the number 160.

b. LVI:
L represents 50, V represents 5, and I represents 1. Adding them up gives us:
50 + 5 + 1 = 56

Hence, LVI corresponds to the number 56.

c. CIII:
C represents 100, and I represents 1. Adding them up three times (since there are three I's) gives us:
100 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 103

Therefore, CIII represents the number 103.
