The use of words as well as numerals presumably makes it harder to alter a check.

Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as a fraction. Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction. You must make sure it can be written as a fraction.
Same.
Roman numerals are represented by alphabetic characters. To convert Roman numbers to regular numbers one must know the numerical value of each character utilized in the Roman numeral set.

You cannot. If you do not have numbers, you must have words - even if they are words that only the person writing and reading can understand them.

IX.XXVII.XCVIII The answer above is technically incorrect. It reads 9-27-98. Unless you meant the year "98 A.D. (c.e.)". The correct way in Roman numerals would read IX-XXVII-MCMXCVIII (9-27-1998). When using Roman numerals the year must be written in full, not abbreviated.
There are two major differences between Roman Numerals and Hindu-Arabic numerals, and together they make the Hindu-Arabic system superior for must applications. First, Hindu-Arabic numbers use placement within a number to indicate a higher value. For example, in the number 256, the "5" indicates five tens and the "2" indicates two hundred units. The same numerals in a different order represent a totally different number, as for example, 562, which represents five hundreds, six tens and two singles. Roman numbers make little use of the order in which numerals are presented. Second, Hindu-Arabic numerals include a symbol for zero, while the Roman system completely lacks that. The zero is used as a place holder in such numbers as 1028, indicating one thousand, no hundreds, two tens and eight singles. This place holder allows aligning of several numbers and makes addition and subtraction easier, and multiplication and division so much easier that calculations can be done with Hindu numerals that are simply impossible with Roman numerals.The Hindu Arabic system is different from Roman numerals cause Hindu Arabic has place value but Roman numerals do not
