XLVII is a Roman numeral representation for the number 47. In Roman numerals, X represents 10, L represents 50, and V represents 5. When a smaller numeral is placed before a larger numeral, it is subtracted from the larger numeral. In this case, the X is placed before the L, which means we subtract 10 from 50, resulting in 40. The V and I after the X are added to the 40, giving us a total of 47. Therefore, the correct answer is 47.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 93Explanation
XCIII is a Roman numeral representation of the number 93. In Roman numerals, X represents 10 and C represents 100, while I represents 1. When a smaller numeral appears before a larger one, it is subtracted from the larger numeral. In this case, the smaller numeral I appears before X, so it is subtracted from X, resulting in 10 - 1 = 9. The larger numeral C appears after X, so it is added to X, resulting in 10 + 100 = 110. Therefore, XCIII represents 93.Rate this question:
