0.625

Explanation:

As the excerpt says that the yard grew 16 centimeters in 10 days at a constant rate, you can use a rule of three to determine how many days it took to grow 1 cm:

10 days → 16 cm

x ← 1 cm

x=(1 cm*10 days)/16 cm

x= 0.625 days

According to this, the answer is that it took 0.625 days for the grass to grow 1 centimeter.
