How many days are there in a half of a century?

Answer 1

There are 12 leap years in 50 years (1/2 a century) each with 366 days. 366 times 12 equals 4,392. Now take 12 away from 50 and you get the number of normal years: 48. 48 years times 365 days equals 17,520. Now add leap-year-days plus normal-year-days. The total is: 21,912.
