The moon rotates on its axis once each 27.32 days. Also, the time it takes

to complete one orbital revolution around the Earth is exactly the same as its

rotation period. That's why the "face" of the moon visible from Earth is always

the same.

A "Moon year" is almost exactly the same as an Earth year. That's about 365 Earth days. The Earth and Moon orbit the Sun in about 365.25 Earth days. So the answer is: about 365. If you mean how many "Moon days" in one Moon year, that's different. The Moon rotates in about 27.3 Earth days. That's one definition of a "Moon day". In that case the answer is about 365/27.3 days = about 13.37 days.
