Default Sorry for wanting an advice for an urgent question, thanks teachers!

Hello teachers,

Q: How many days are there from June to July?
From the question above, do we count the days of both months or just one month?

Similarly,
Q: Peter's birthday is on 29th February. (leap year) How long does he have to wait for his next birthday?

A: 3 years OR 4 years

Thank you sooooo much for advising, teachers

There are no days between June and July, but from the start of June to the end of July there are 61 days.
