Roman numerals VI to X worksheet: Answers and working

1. 8, 5, 7
On each tablet, start from the V (5), then count the I's after it.
V is 5, plus one for each I after it: left to right, 8, 5, 7.
2. 7
Read one of the tablets you can see; they go up one at a time, so count on or back to “?”.
After V, each one adds another I on the right: VI, VII, VIII. “?” is 7.
3. 10
Read the first tablet. Remember IX comes after VIII, then X. Count on to “?”.
After VIII comes IX (one less than 10, so 9), then X (10). “?” is 10.

4. D
V is 5. How many I's must go after the V for 7? Count them on each tablet.
V is 5, and each I after it adds 1: VI is 6, VII is 7, VIII is 8.
5. A
V is 5. How many I's must go after the V for 6? Count them on each tablet.
V is 5, and each I after it adds 1: VI is 6, VII is 7, VIII is 8.
6. B. 8
Find the V or X, then see whether the I is after it (add) or before it (subtract).
The tablet shows 8: an I after the V or X adds, an I before it subtracts.
7. A
Is 8 nearer 5 or 10? Decide on V or X first, then which side the I's go.
6 to 8 are V with I's after it, 9 is IX (10 − 1) and 10 is X: that tells you which tablet shows 8.
8. C
V is 5. How many I's must go after the V for 5? Count them on each tablet.
V is 5, and each I after it adds 1: VI is 6, VII is 7, VIII is 8.

Is 7 nearer 5 or 10? Decide on V or X first, then which side the I's go.

11. D
Is 9 nearer 5 or 10? Decide on V or X first, then which side the I's go.
6 to 8 are V with I's after it, 9 is IX (10 − 1) and 10 is X: that tells you which tablet shows 9.

12. 3 floors
Read the floor in the picture first, then work out how far it is from there to floor 10.
Ka-yan is on floor 7 and the top is floor 10: 10 − 7 = 3 floors.
13. 8 rows
Read the row in the picture first. Row I is at the front, so how many rows are ahead of Ming?
Ming is in row 9, so 9 − 1 = 8 rows are in front.
14. 3 points
Read each tablet as a score first, then take the smaller from the bigger.
The scores are 5 and 8: 8 − 5 = 3 points.
15. 5 rows
Read the row in the picture first. Row I is at the front, so how many rows are ahead of Ka-yee?
Ka-yee is in row 6, so 6 − 1 = 5 rows are in front.
16. 4 points
Read each tablet as a score first, then take the smaller from the bigger.
The scores are 8 and 4: 8 − 4 = 4 points.
17. 4 floors
Read the floor in the picture first, then work out how far it is from there to floor 10.
Tsz-hin is on floor 6 and the top is floor 10: 10 − 6 = 4 floors.
