The answer to that question is 29.5 / 4 days. 29.5 days is the number of days that it takes for the moon to cycle through it's phases (called the synodic month)... The interstitial phases (Waxing Cresent, Waxing Gibbous, Waning Gibbous, and Waning Cresent) also last 29.5 / 4 days each...
The Lunation Number or Lunation Cycle is a number given to each lunation beginning from a certain one in history. Several conventions are in use.or all new moons between 1601 and 2401, the maximum difference is 0.592 days = 14h13m in either direction. The duration of a lunation (i.e. the time from new moon to the next new moon) varies in this period between 29.272 and 29.833 days, i.e. â0.259d = 6h12m shorter, or +0.302d = 7h15m longer than average.
