Proportion states that two ratios or fractions are equal

The grass in Jamie yard grew 16 centimeters in 10 days. it growing at a constant rate.

We have to find how many days did the grass to grow 1 centimeters.

Let x be the days did the grass to grow 1 centimeters.

By definition of proportion:

`(16)/(10) = (1)/(x)`

`16x = 10`

Divide both sides by 16 we have;

x = 0.625 days

Therefore, 0.625 days did the grass to grow 1 centimeters.
