q4.1.6:

20,000 is represented by 2 rocks, 3,000 is represented by 3 owls, 100 is represented by 1 stone, 40 is represented by 4 pieces of gold, and 5 is represented by 5 pounds of sand.

q4.1.6:

5 lotus flowers would be 5 X 1,000 to equal 5,000.

11 scrolls would be 11 X 100 to equal 1100.

6 heel bones would be 6 X 10 to equal 60.

8 pointing fingers would be 8 X 1 to equal 8

so the total would be 5,000+1100+60+8=6168

q4.1.30:

...I just can't understand how to relate with the Egyptians and how they related to things...

q4.1.36:

I first took the Egyptian algorithm to find the column:

1 81

2 162

4 324

8 648

16 1296

32 2592.

then I dont understand which groups to use for the numbers...I understand how they add up but how do you distinguish the use of the representative groups???

q4.1.36:

again I figured out the column to be:

1 44

2 88

4 176

8 352

16 704

...but again i have the same problem with the next step as I did with the previous problem...
