A year and a half is 18 months. One year has 12 months and half a year has 6 months, so 12 + 6 = 18. In other units, a year and a half is about 78 weeks or 547 to 548 days.
| Time | Months | Weeks (approx.) | Days (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Half a year | 6 | 26 | 182 to 183 |
| 1 year | 12 | 52 | 365 (366 in a leap year) |
| 1.5 years (a year and a half) | 18 | 78 | 547 to 548 |
| 2 years | 24 | 104 | 730 to 731 |
| 2.5 years | 30 | 130 | 912 to 913 |
How to work it out
Multiply the number of years by 12, because every year has 12 months.
- 1.5 years × 12 = 18 months
- 2.5 years × 12 = 30 months
- 0.5 years × 12 = 6 months
To go the other way, divide months by 12: 18 months ÷ 12 = 1.5 years. So “18 months old” and “a year and a half old” mean the same age.
