Remove one stick from the V will give you II = II
V plus VI Equals XI OR V Plus IV Equals IX
ii + vi = viiii = vii = viiii + i + vi = viii
In Roman numerals, LCI represents 50 + 100 + 1, which equals 151. The Roman numeral system uses letters to represent numbers, with I representing 1, C representing 100, and L representing 50. When these letters are combined, they are added together to determine the total value represented by the Roman numeral.
In Roman numerals, IIXI is not a valid representation. The correct way to represent the number 9 in Roman numerals is IX, where I represents 1 and X represents 10. The subtractive principle in Roman numerals dictates that a smaller numeral before a larger numeral is subtracted from the larger numeral. In this case, IX is the correct representation of 9.
MXM is not a correct Roman numeral, as the symbol X should not be placed before any symbol of a higher value than C. If it were correct its value would be 1990 but the correct way to represent this value would be MCMXC. (M = 1000, CM = 900 and XC = 90).

The symbol X comes from the Greek alphabet (X=chi), circa 9th century BCE. The Etruscan alphabet is a direct descendant of the Greek alphabet and the Roman alphabet descends from the Etruscan. The Roman numerals themselves are thought to derive from an Etruscan tally stick method of counting.
D equals 500 and M equals 1,000. A smaller numeral in front of a larger numeral means you subtract the smaller number from the larger one. In this case, DM stands for 500. However, Roman Numerals should be written using the least amount of letters possible. In that case, DM is not a Roman Numeral. In its place is D, also meaning 500.
A stick of butter is a quarter pound.
When primitive man began to settle into farming communities he needed some kind of method to keep a tally of his farming stock and so numerals, which originated from notches on a stick, were invented out of necessity. The Roman numeral system was not invented by the Romans but by the Etruscans who once ruled the Romans.
1 stick of Crisco equals 1 cup.
To find how big your stick is.
One stick, plus an additional half stick of butter equals three quarters cup.
