Question

How many years passed between the dates 100 B.C. And 500 A.D.?

Answer 1

599 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

it's crucial to adjust for the fact that there was no year 0.

500 + 100 = 600 years.

However, you still have to adjust for the absence of year 0. You do this by removing 1 from your answer, so 600 minus 1 is 599.

600 - 1 = 599 years.

Answer 2

600 years.

the difference between minus 100 and positive 500 is 600.
