  10. Without numbers, its harder to communicate if we are all talking about a big sum of things. I think the first use of numbers is when humans started communicating, unless talking animals-not humans- existed =D

  11. Without number there will be alot of comforts to lose as we do not need to find our mail in a box full of them. We have a mailbox all with the help of number and we can enjoy the lift as there are numbers to go to your level and if you do not have numbers we would not know which floor to go down at

    I think numbers existed since the time of trade and war

  12. Without numbers, we will live in a tougher world and life will be hard.Numbers also helps us to have easier trades.
    I think number was created when people started trading.

  13. without numbers,nobody would be able to count,making trade impossible and mankind would have gone extinct years ago without numbers.
    Numbers would have existed any time in the world as certain areas may have had invented numbers first before someone found out later about numbers and told the world about it but they were never known.
    example:A and B are two people.A was the first to make numbers but he never announced it.B made numbers much later but announced it.So B was known to be the inventor of numbers but he was not the first to make them.
