and for practical purposes here is a table that can be useful to remember:

2th = 1 tone
b2th = ½ tone

3th = 2 (tones)
b3th = 1 ½ (t)

4th = 2½ (t)
4+ or b5th = 3 (t)

5th = 3½ (t)
5+ or b6th = 4 (t)

6th = 4½ (t)

b7th = 5 (t)
7th (maj) = 5½ (t)


as you maybe know, we can say that (as far as which note is) the:

9th are = to 2th

11th are = to 4th

6th are = to 13th





enjoy it!
