Step-by-step explanation:
For this exercise let "d" represents the number of days that it took the grass in Jamie’s yard to grow one centimeter.
According to the information given in the exercise, you know that in ten days the grass grew sixteen centimeters.
Therefore, since it was growing at a constant rate, you can set up the following proportion:
\(\frac{16}{10}=\frac{1}{d}\)
Finally, you need to solve for "d" in order to find its value.
You get that this is:
\((d)(\frac{16}{10})=1\\\\d=(1)(\frac{10}{16})\\\\d=0.625\)
Therefore, you can conclude that the grass in Jamie’s yard grew 1 centimeter in 0.625 days.
