Let's solve this step by step.
We are given a chart of
Egyptian hieroglyphs and their corresponding values:
| Hieroglyph | Value |
|------------|-------|
| `|` (vertical stroke) | 1 |
| `||` (two strokes) | 2 |
| `|||` (three strokes) | 3 |
| `||||` (four strokes) | 4 |
| `|||||` (five strokes) | 5 |
| `||||||` (six strokes) | 6 |
| `|||||||` (seven strokes) | 7 |
| `||||||||` (eight strokes) | 8 |
| `|||||||||` (nine strokes) | 9 |
| `∩` (arch or coil) | 10 |
| `∞` (coil) | 100 |
| `T-shaped symbol` (like a heel) | 1,000 |
| `finger` | 10,000 |
| `frog` | 100,000 |
| `man with raised hands` | 1,000,000 |
But from the image, we can see that:
- A
single vertical line (`|`) = 1
- A
coiled rope (`∩`) = 10
- A
coil (`∞`) = 100
- A
lotus flower (T-shaped) = 1,000
- A
finger = 10,000
- A
frog = 100,000
- A
man = 1,000,000
Now let’s go through each problem:
---
1. `∩∩∩∩∩∩∩∩ |`
- There are
8 coils (`∩`) → 8 × 10 = 80
- Plus
1 vertical line → 1
- Total:
80 + 1 = 81
✔ Answer: 81
---
2. `∩∩∩∩ |||`
- 4 coils → 4 × 10 = 40
- 3 vertical lines → 3
- Total:
40 + 3 = 43
✔ Answer: 43
---
3. `∩∩∩∩∩∩∩∩∩ |||`
- 9 coils → 9 × 10 = 90
- 3 vertical lines → 3
- Total:
90 + 3 = 93
✔ Answer: 93
---
4. `∩∩ |||`
- 2 coils → 2 × 10 = 20
- 3 vertical lines → 3
- Total:
20 + 3 = 23
✔ Answer: 23
---
5. `∩∩∩∩∩∩∩ ||||`
- 7 coils → 7 × 10 = 70
- 4 vertical lines → 4
- Total:
70 + 4 = 74
✔ Answer: 74
---
6. `∞∩∩∩∩∩ ||||`
- 1 coil (`∞`) = 100
- 5 coils (`∩`) = 5 × 10 = 50
- 4 vertical lines = 4
- Total:
100 + 50 + 4 = 154
✔ Answer: 154
---
7. `∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ ∩∩∩∩∩ |||`
- 7 coils (`∞`) = 7 × 100 = 700
- 5 coils (`∩`) = 5 × 10 = 50
- 3 vertical lines = 3
- Total:
700 + 50 + 3 = 753
✔ Answer: 753
---
8. `∞∞∞∞∩ ||||`
- 4 coils (`∞`) = 4 × 100 = 400
- 1 coil (`∩`) = 10
- 4 vertical lines = 4
- Total:
400 + 10 + 4 = 414
✔ Answer: 414
---
✔ Final Answers:
| Number | Egyptian Hieroglyphs | Modern Number |
