To calculate the number of days from January 15 to July 31 in a leap year, we count the days in each month: January (31 days, but only 17 days from January 15), February (29 days, because it's a leap year), March (31 days), April (30 days), May (31 days), June (30 days), and July (31 days). Adding these together: 17 + 29 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 = 199 days. However, since we count the start day, we subtract one to avoid double counting the first day, resulting in 198 days.
