Changing Roman numerals to Hindu-Arabic

There are 27 patterns used to make up Roman numerals from 1 to 999. The patterns are put in order from largest to smallest as we read from left to right, which is true for Hindu-Arabic numerals as well.

1 through 9. With these patterns the first symbol is either I or V.
I = 1
II = 2
III = 3
IV = 4 (one before five)
V = 5
VI = 6
VII = 7
VIII = 8
IX = 9 (one before ten) 

10 through 90. With these patterns the first symbol is either X or L.
X = 10
XX = 20
XXX = 30
XL = 40 (ten before fifty)
L = 50
LX = 60
LXX = 70
LXXX = 80
XC = 90 (ten before hundred) 


100 through 900. With these patterns the first symbol is either C or D.
C = 100
CC = 200
CCC = 300
CD = 400 (hundred before five hundred)
D = 500
DC = 600
DCC = 700
DCC = 800
CM = 900 (hundred before thousand) 
M = 1,000, but another way to write numbers past 1,000, is to put a bar over the numbers.

For example,
__
IX = 9,000.

Change CDXCVII into Hindu-Arabic.

We start on the left and we find CDXCVII. CD = 400, the hundreds place

Then we have XCVII. XC = 90, the tens place.

VII = 7. Put them all together and we get CDXCVII = 497.

Change DIV into Hindu-Arabic.

D = 500, IV = 4, so this is 504. In Roman numerals they had no symbol for zero, so they just left that position blank.

Example. Let the universe be U = {a, b, c, d, e, f, g}

A = {b, e, a, d}
B = {f, a, c, e}

a and e are in the middle sliver, while b and d are in the left oval and f and c are in the right oval.  The letter g isn't in either list, so it goes outside the circles.

Notes for time given in decimal form

On Earth, a years is actually 365.2422 days. We make up the extra number by having a leap year every four years, with a few exceptions. How long is 0.2422 days in hours minutes and seconds?

Decimal days to hours, minutes and seconds:  To get the number of hours, we multiply 0.2422x24 = 5.8128 hours, we save the 5, then multiply the 0.8128 x 60 = 48.768, which means we now have 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and some decimal part of a minute. 0.768x60 = 46.08 seconds, which means a year is 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46.08 seconds.


A day on Saturn is 10.656 Earth hours. How do we change the decimal to hours, minutes and seconds?

Decimal hours to minutes and seconds: Multiply the decimal part by 60. In this case, .656 x 60 = 39.36 minutes. We save the 39 minutes and then multiply .36 x 60 = 21.6. This means the final answer is 10 hours, 39 minutes, 21.6 seconds.

Notes on determinants

A 2x2 matrix is an array of four numbers put in two rows and two columns, such as

| a c |
| b d |

The determinant of this matrix is ad - bc, the product of the main diagonal minus the product of the opposite diagonal. If you use Kramer's rule to solve a pair of simultaneous equations, you will need to know how to calculate determinants.

For example, let's consider the following set of equations.

3x - 2y = 7
2x + 4y = 12

As an augmented matrix , these equations become

|  3  -2  : 7 |
|  2   4  : 12|

Matrix_1 is

| 3 -2 |
| 2  4 |

The determinant is 3(4) - 2(-2) = 12 - -4 = 16
 

Matrix_x is

| 7 -2 |
| 12  4 |

The determinant is 7(4) - 12(-2) = 28 - -24 = 52
  Matrix_y is

| 3  7  |
| 2 12 |

The determinant is 3(12) - 2(7) = 36 - 14 = 22

From here, Kramer's rule then has x = 52/16 = 13/4 or 3 1/4. The value for y = 22/16 = 11/8 = 1 3/8

Fractional part of a day

A year is defined by how long it takes a planet to make a single orbit around the sun. An Earth year is 365.2422 days. To make up for the decimal part we have a leap year every four years and skip the leap year if the number of the year is divisible by 100. This means we had leap years in 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016, but we did not have one in 2000. What this lesson is about is to take the decimal part of this time and turn it onto hours, minutes and seconds.

Step 1. Multiply the decimal part by 24 to get the number of hours.
In this case, .2422 x 24 = 5.8128, which means 5.8128 hours.

Step 2. If there is still a decimal part, multiply it by 60 to get the number of minutes. We know know a year is 365 days, 5 hours and some number of minutes. That number is 60 x .8128 = 48.768

Step 3. If there is still a decimal part, multiply it by 60 to get the number of seconds.
We know know a year is 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and some number of seconds. That number is 60 x .768 = 46.08. In these problems, it is okay to round to the nearest tenth of a second, so the final answer is 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46.1 seconds.

Let's do another example. A year on Venus is 224.65 Earth days.

Step 1. .65 x 60 = 15.6, so the year on Venus is 224 days, 15.6 hours.

Step 2. 60 x .6 = 36, so that makes the year on Venus 224 days, 15 hours and 36 minutes. There is no more decimal part, so we don't have to add any seconds to our answer.

Here are two more practice problems. The answers are in the comments.

1. It takes Mercury 87.969 Earth days to travel around the sun. Write this number in days, hours, minutes and seconds.

2. It takes Mars 686.98 Earth days to travel around the sun. Write this number in days, hours, minutes and seconds.
