I WILL MEDAL AND FAN THIS IS CONFUSING ME A horse's mane grows at the rate of 6 over 5 centimeters per month. How many months will it take the horse's mane to grow 24 over 10 centimeters? Explain your answer using expressions and words.

6 over 5 = 6/5 which is also a ratio. Can you go from there?

24/10 reduced is 12/5 which is another ratio... 6 * 2 = 12.
