You can put this solution on YOUR website!
On June 30th 1969, you were 5 days old:
30-25=5
0n July 24th 1969, you were 29 days old
24+days+%2B5days=29days
and your brother was having his first birthday.
He was exactly 365days old, because he had not lived through any leap day.
That day the difference in ages was
365days-29days=highlight%28336days%29.
The difference in ages continued to be 336days every day after that.
It had been and would be 336 days as long as you were both born and alive.
