Hello, I need help with a problem for my Math History class. Please include a work-through with explanations on how to complete the problem. I need help understanding it so I can do other problems like this on my own. Thank you in advance for your help! Here is the problem: 2. The numerals in the upper left quadrant of the Babylonian hand tablet depicted on p. 69 are translated as: 5 tens combined with 3 tens is 2 tens plus 5; that answer combined with 3 (ones) is 1 and 1 ten plus 5. (The answers are to the right of the vertical line.) For what operation (s) and place values is this computation correct? Explain. Then explain how a zero symbol would help to clarify this computation FITF& Hello, I need help with a problem for my Math History class.
