Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the number of days between May 20 and November 22, we count the days month by month. From May 20 to May 31 is 12 days. June has 30 days, July has 31 days, August has 31 days, September has 30 days, October has 31 days, and November 1 to November 22 is 22 days. Adding these together: 12 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 22 = 187. However, the starting day is included in the count, so we subtract 1 to avoid double counting, resulting in 186 days.
