    the grass in jamie’s yard grew 16 centimeters in 10 days. how many days did it take for the grass to grow 1 centimeter

    We set up a proportion of centimeters to days where d is the number of days it takes for the grass to grow 1 centimeter:
    16/10 = 1/d

    To solve this proportion for d, we type it in our search engine and we get:
    d = 0.625 or 5/8
