d) 31; 366

Answer 1

All months have 31 days, and a year has either 365 days (non-leap year) or 366 days (leap year).

Step-by-step explanation:

For the purposes of proration and testing, all months have 31 days, and a year has either 365 days (non-leap year) or 366 days (leap year).

Most months have 31 days, except for February which has 28 days in a non-leap year and 29 days in a leap year. A leap year occurs every 4 years, with the exception of years ending in 00, unless they are divisible by 400.

The calendar that we commonly use today is the Gregorian calendar, which was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 to fix the inaccuracies of the previous Julian calendar.
