How long does the moon go quarter of the way round the earth?
A complete moon cycle, known as "lunation" is about 29.5 days. It ends up back where it started, which I suppose is one definition of "going all the way around the earth". So the answer is one quarter of 29.5, which is one week and 9 hours.

Why do we only see one side of the moon during a full moon?
The same side of the moon (for all practical purposes) is facing the earth all the time, not just during full moons. This is because the moon is tidally locked with earth. The moon's orbital period and its rotational period are the same. The more massive hemisphere of the moon is always facing the earth. There is a slight variation called lunation. Lunation happens because the moon's rotational period is constant, while its orbital velocity around the earth is not constant. Because the moon's orbit is elliptical, as are virtually all orbits, the moon is passing over the earth at a variable velocity depending on its distance from the earth. As a result, the rotational movement of the moon seems to be either ahead of the moon's orbital location, or lagging behind it. Lunation is an apparent movement of the moon, and not a real movement. There is also a north-south lunation caused by the changing altitude of the moon relative to the equatorial plane.
