A full cycle is about 29.5 days, so a quarter cycle will be 1/4 of this, on average (divide 29.5 by 4). This is just an average; since the Moon's orbit is not a perfect circle, it may vary a bit.

One lunar month is 29.53 days, the time taken from one new moon to the next. The first quarter is 7.3825 days from the new moon phase, one quarter of the lunar month. That's about 7 days and 8 hours.
It takes approximately 7.4 days from a full moon to reach the third quarter phase.

New moon."New Moon" follows "waning crescent"New Moon
The moon phase "waning gibbous" appears after the moon phase "full moon".It becomes the "last quarter" or "third quarter" when the lighted part is exactly 50%of the side facing the Earth.
A half moon refers to both the first quarter and the third quarter moon phase.
It is the "waning crescent" phase.
