### A good answer might be:

# Representations

What you wrote is a representation of the number. Here is one representation:

>     XII

This may not be the representation you used for your number. Here is another representation for that same number:

>     ///// ///// //

Perhaps you used this representation:

>     12

or this:

>     twelve

or this:

>     11002

### QUESTION 3:

Are `XII, ///// ///// //,` and `12` different numbers?
