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!
