alleryA simple lunar calendar alternates 30-day and 29-day months. How many days do two months total?
A57
B58
C60
D59
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. 59
1. A full month has 30 days and a hollow month has 29.
2. Together they total 30 + 29 = 59 days.
3. Two lunations last about 59 solar days, so 60 is only a rough round figure.
