Can you count with letters? I bet it would be really hard to get through your day without numbers. How would you tell time? Some clocks have letters instead of numbers. You can still tell time with the letters though. have you ever wondered what those letters even mean anyways? There kind of hard to read because there roman numerals. We usually tell time with the Arabic numerals. Ancient Romans have went through a process called a numeric system which has letters as the numbers on a regular clock. There is certain rules for the Arabic numerals, and the Roman numerals. As an example, Roman numerals don't have a place value like the Arabic numerals. If you have a 1 and a 5, then put the one after the 5 you would have 51. When you use Roman numerals, 51 is not represented as a "I" or after a "V". So instead, it is represented as an LI. This is all I have learned! I hope you enjoyed!
