The absence of a year zero means that the first century took place between 1AD and 100AD. The second century took place between 101 and 200, the third between 201 and 300, the fourth between 301 and 400, and the fifth between 401 and 500.
The fifth century A.D (or C.E.) is from the years 401 to 500 on the Gregorian calandar.
Assuming the question does not refer to BC, First century ended in year 100 Second century in year 200 so fifth century ended in year 500. 54 years before was the year 446.
40 years
Fifth century encompasses the years 401-500.
20 years is less than a century. A century is 100 years. So 20 years is one fifth of or 20% of a century.
100 / 5 = 20 years
if it is 5th century AD then it is at least 400 years after bc or bce
Ten decades equal one century therefore twenty decades equal two centuries.
