"Four score and seven years" which indicates 87 years (4x20 +7), the time between the Declaration of Independence (July 4, 1776) and the Gettysburg Address (November 19, 1863).87a score is 20 years, so 4 score is 80 years plus 7.
Literally, "four twenties and seven years ago," or "87 years ago." A score is 20. Four score is 80, and 7 is 87. So four score and seven years ago means 87 years ago. (see "Wikipedia"; "Gettysburg Address". 1863 minus 87=1776; 4th July - Declaration of Independence!) "Fourscore" means eighty (80). A score is twenty. It's not in very common use any more, but it is a word like "dozen," which means twelve (12)--a special word for a certain number. (And a gross is 12 x 12, or 144.) So if a score = 20, fourscore = 4 x 20 = 80. And 7 makes 87. 1 score = 20 years 4 score = 80 years 4 score 7 years = 87 years
score is a set of twenty so 4 x 20 + 10 = 90 years ago.
This has been asked and answered before. Four score is 80. A score is twenty. 4 score means 4x20, as score means a measurement of 20.
Since score is defined as 20, 4 score is 80. I am assuming by 4 score you mean 4 score years (as opposed to 4 score seconds, minutes, etc.). Since 4 score is 80, 4 score years is 80 years.
One score is 20 years, which means that 4 scores are 80 years.
4 score = 40 years... "4 score and 7 years ago", in the words of Abraham Lincoln, is 47 years.

Learning the Gettysburg Address aren't you? A score is 20, therefore, 4 score would be eighty years.
A score is 20 years so 4 score is 80 years.
Forty. Two score years is forty years.
There are: 4*20 = 80 years
A score is twenty years, so 4 score is 80 years and 'four score and seven' means 87 years.
one score is equal to 20 (4 score and 7 years ago=87 years ago)
As a score is 20 years, 4 score and 7 years equals 87 years.
