Roman numerals: no zero, no place value worksheet: Answers and working

1. 2, 1, 0, 0
Look at each place of 2100: where it holds 0, the Roman numeral writes nothing.
In 2100 the thousands digit is 2, the hundreds 1, the tens 0 and the ones 0. The two places that are 0 we fill with 0s; the Roman numeral simply leaves those groups out.
2. 4
Split 2009 into thousands, hundreds, tens and ones. A 0 group is left out; count the letters group by group.
An empty group is left out and only the others are written: 4 letters in all.
3. 6
Split 2008 into thousands, hundreds, tens and ones. A 0 group is left out; count the letters group by group.
An empty group is left out and only the others are written: 6 letters in all.
4. 3, 0, 7, 0
Look at each place of 3070: where it holds 0, the Roman numeral writes nothing.
In 3070 the thousands digit is 3, the hundreds 0, the tens 7 and the ones 0. The two places that are 0 we fill with 0s; the Roman numeral simply leaves those groups out.
5. 3, 0, 0, 9
Look at each place of 3009: where it holds 0, the Roman numeral writes nothing.
In 3009 the thousands digit is 3, the hundreds 0, the tens 0 and the ones 9. The two places that are 0 we fill with 0s; the Roman numeral simply leaves those groups out.

6. True
Count the letters on the tablet, then the digits in 123, and compare.
The tablet has 6 letters and 123 has 3 digits. Round numbers can be short in Roman numerals, but those with 3s and 8s get long.
7. C. 10
Which place is the left 3 in? Work out what it stands for, and what the right 3 stands for.
The left 3 stands for 30 and the right one for 3: 30 is 10 times 3.
8. C
Write 104 place by place in Roman numerals, leaving out any 0, then compare with each tablet.
Place by place: write nothing for each 0 and the rest as they are, and that is 104.
9. False
Count the letters on the tablet, then the digits in 2100, and compare.
The tablet has 3 letters and 2100 has 4 digits. Round numbers can be short in Roman numerals, but those with 3s and 8s get long.
10. D. 100
Which place is the left 1 in? Work out what it stands for, and what the right 1 stands for.
The left 1 stands for 100 and the right one for 1: 100 is 100 times 1.
11. A
