The complete cycle of moon phases repeats every 29.53 days.
An entire cycle is about 29 1/2 days, on average. The "phases" are more like points in time, when the Moon shows a certain shape.

29.531 days on the average, with slight variations through a year.
The Moons Revolution around earth is about 30 days. So if you divide that by 8 (because there are 8 phases) you would get about 3.75 days in between each phase. That is New, Cresent, First Quarter, Gibbous, Full, Gibbous, Third Quarter, Cresent and then once it gets back to New Moon again, its starts over again.
360 days
I would expect that period of time to comprise 3/4 of a full cycleof phases, or about 22.15 days.
the moon takes 28 days to complete all of it's phases and there are 8 phases so each phase lasts for 3.5 days

Lunar phases lasts about 3 1/2 days. The moon doesn't change phases fast enough to change on a nightly basis. It takes several days.
Seven days roughly corresponds to the phases of the moon.

29.53 days
About 29 days
28 days. That is how many days there are in the Islamic calendar, which is based on the phases of the moon.
The moon's phases repeat every 29.5 days because it takes that long for the moon to complete a full cycle of phases, from new moon to new moon. The 27.3 days is the amount of time it takes for the moon to orbit Earth, but the change in position relative to the sun causes the phases to take slightly longer.
On average 29.53 days
