There's no point in just doing this for you, as you won't be able to do it for yourself when your exam comes around, so let's do a quick review of Roman numberals.
The numbers go;
I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X
-- and that's the key to the whole thing.
I is, of course, I. V is five and X is ten.
When you are creating a number that is MORE than five, you put the additional numbers to the RIGHT of the V. When you are creating a number that is one LESS than five, you put a one to the LEFT of the V. So a smaller number to the left of a large number means you subtract that number from the larger number, a smaller number to the right of the number means you add it.
The Roman numerals are:
I V X L C D and M (1,5, 10, 50, 100, 500 and 1,000)
Looking at your first example, your number is larger than 500 but smaller than 1,000, so you will start with 500, or D
You need to add 100 to it, to make 600, so you have DC
You need to add 50 to that, so you have DCL
and you need to add 3 to that, so you have DCLIII
And with that, you should be able to solve the remaining examples AND ace your exam.
Good luck.
