Question

b.c. to a.d.
what type of math should you do?

○ 663 years

○ 463 years

○ 365 years

○ 190 years

Explanation:

Step1: Identify key dates

Buddha is born c. 563 B.C.E.; Buddhism reaches China c. 1 C.E.

Step2: Calculate time difference

$563 + 1 = 564$, closest to 663? Correction: Standard date for Buddha's birth is c. 563 BCE, Buddhism introduced to China c. 1st century CE (c. 1 CE). The calculation is $563 + 1 = 564$, but the closest option is 663 Years. Alternatively, if using Buddha's birth as c. 623 BCE: $623 + 1 = 624$, still closest to 663.

Answer:

663 Years
