I'm guessing 30...

anonymous · Answer

If in 15 days, there are 9 cloudy days in 30 days there will only be 18 cloudy days as we are just doubling our numbers.

anonymous · Answer

60% of the days are cloudy since 9 is 60% of 15,

anonymous · Answer

So lets start off by trying 45, 60% of 45 is 27 so we're a little high.

anonymous · Answer

So lets try 40, if we get 60% of 40 we get 24, so I think that it will be 40 days!
