According to the poem, there are thirty days in June. Thirty is represented in Roman Numerals by three Xs, as each X equals ten.

5. If you add 500 plus 5 together, what number do you get?

Answer: DV

The Roman Numeral D stands for 500 and V stands for 5, so DV is the Roman Numeral equivalent of 505.
