Answer 1

The answer is 2 1/2 months

Explanation:

1/4 is the equivalent of 2/8--2/8 x 2 is 4/8-- there is one eighth left so that would be a a half of a month.

(I think. I apologize if this is wrong.)

I thought it was 1 1/2 at first, then I looked closer. This is a tricky problem.

Answer 2

All i got was 1 and a half months
