7.88 months
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is approximately 7.88 months
Steps to Solve
-
Identify the average number of days in a month
Generally, we consider an average month to have about 30.44 days (since there are 365.25 days in a year divided by 12 months).
-
Divide the total days by the average number of days in a month
To find the number of months, we'll divide 240 days by 30.44 days/month: $$\text{Months} = \frac{240 \text{ days}}{30.44 \text{ days/month}}$$
-
Perform the division
$$\text{Months} \approx 7.88$$
The final answer is approximately 7.88 months
More Information
In most contexts, especially non-leap years, dividing by 30 gives a rough estimate, but using 30.44 provides a slightly more accurate result over larger time periods.
Tips
A common mistake is using 30 or 31 strictly without considering the more accurate average of 30.44. This affects the calculation's precision.
