The rule about adding a whole period when you have taken to reckon from a fraction of one period to a fraction of the next is very important. How many days are there from 23rd October in one year to 15th March in the next, the second being a leap year. If we refer to Table VIII we shall find that 23rd October is 296 days from 1st January, and 15th March (where we have had to pass 29th February) is 75 days. Add 365 to 75. Total 440. Deduct 296. Answer, 144 days.
