How many days after a new moon would we see a last quarter moon?

A last quarter moon occurs approximately 22 to 23 days after a new moon. The lunar cycle, from one new moon to the next, takes about 29.5 days, with the last quarter phase occurring roughly three-quarters of the way through this cycle. Therefore, after a new moon, the last quarter moon appears about three weeks later.
