What number does the Roman numerals in the picture represent?

You don't know your Roman Numerals. Latin teacher here. M = 1000 D=500 C=100 L=50 X=10 V=5

If you hadn't had the Roman numerals between a set of parallel lines to begin with, I might have noticed the lines above 3 of them. It would have been less confusing

This question absolutely wrong. M=1000

I agree with all of you, the way this question was represented was very misleading!!!

Hi, Miss Brookens. Allow me to share with you this: M is 1,000. But, there is a bar atop M. A bar on top means you multiply the M (1,000) to 1,000. So, 1,000 x 1,000 is one million. I hope this helps. Thanks for reading this.

Tess Austria Nasis, for a Latin teacher you know very little about Roman numerals. A bar over the numeral multiplies that numeral by 1,000. The answer is correct.

I have long held the view that ppl can’t count.

Never learned anything about lines above or below. This is just random roman numerals that don't actually represent a single number. 1000, 50, 5 and 10. That's all. I was a straight A math student and we did study roman numerals, but nothing as described.

WRONG answer. M=1000. That's why M&Ms were the candies chosen for year 2000.

My first thought, after studying the letters, was 1065. I completely forgot about the lines.

Wrong answer and hardly any information in that answer

I never learned about the bar. I didn't pay any attention to the bar. But, like they say you learn something every day and this is what l learned today. Thanks

I never learned about the lines over the Roman numerals. Dang! 🙄 Thank you Arab nations for giving me the use of YOUR numbers, but I learned something new! 👍😊

I never heard of the lines above the letters

I don’t recall learning of Roman numerals with the bad above, but grade school was a very long time ago. Adding the numerals I got 1055, which wasn’t a choice. Very confusing, and yes I read the comments about how to apply the bar.

Jaime Reynardus, a smaller value numeral before a bigger one always subtracts, but we would never place a V in front of an X (only an I would go infront of a V or an X to turn them into 4 and 9 respectively). The reason the V can be in front of the X is because the bar above turns the V for representing 5 to being 5,000 instead.

Kath Thomson, 1065 is MLXV. You have written the numerals for 1066.

Tim Poninski, however, M with a line above it is 1000 x 1000 = 1,000,000

Mathen Rajeev Mathew, M without the bar is 1000. M with the bar is 1,000,000.

Jaime Reynardus, not with the bars over the letters. M with a bar = 1,000,000. Read the info again. 1065 is actually MLXVI

I didn't understand what the lines above meant! MLVX without the lines makes no sense.
