A dairy farmer sold milk from 8th December 2011 to 8th March 2012. How many days did the farmer sell the milk?
This one might be confusing but if you work it out you can find out the answer. You have to find out how many days are in each month and add them together and figure out how many days are left in December. I hope it goes well.

To find the number of days the dairy farmer sold milk, we need to calculate the difference between the start date (8th December 2011) and the end date (8th March 2012).
Step 1: Convert both dates to a numerical format.
- 8th December 2011 can be written as 12/8/2011.
- 8th March 2012 can be written as 3/8/2012.
Step 2: Calculate the difference between the two dates.
- Subtract the start date (12/8/2011) from the end date (3/8/2012).
To do this, we'll count the number of days between the two months, accounting for leap years if necessary.
In December 2011, there are 31 days.
In January 2012, there are 31 days.
In February 2012, there are 29 days since it is a leap year.
In March 2012, there are 8 days.
Add up the days: 31 + 31 + 29 + 8 = 99 days.
Therefore, the dairy farmer sold milk for 99 days from 8th December 2011 to 8th March 2012.
