IV workers are working on painting a fence. If each worker can paint IV meters of fence in an hour, how many meters can the workers paint, in total, over a period of 2 hours (answer in Roman Numerals)?
Answer:
XXXII meters
- There are IV workers, or IV = 4 workers.
- Each worker can paint IV meters of fence, or 4 meters of fence in one hour.
- In a period of 2 hours, the total meters of fence that can be painted by 4 workers will be 4 × 4 × 2 = 32 meters.
- 32 can be written in the Roman form as XXXII. Hence, the workers can paint a total of XXXII meters over a period of 2 hours.
