He was taken down from the cross at sundown, IIRC. So that's, let's say, 6 PM, or .25 days.
He wasn't seen from that point through Saturday. Give him all of Saturday, midnight to midnight. That adds up to 1.25 days.
He wasn't in the tomb when the ladies came on Sunday morning. So another .25 days. That's 1.5 days.
Even though it doesn't change your math, the writers of the NT used a Jewish calendar.

The calendar used does not change the days involved not matter what you call the "days".
The bottom line is that jebus was merely inconvenienced for a weekend, nothing more.
