What common phrase does this represent?

I have no clue

This one will require a little lateral thinking.

Puzzles like these are a dime a dozen.

All I could think of is October, but that's not a phrase.

Good one, Joe and Kristen.

Yup this is a picture of Snoopy... I mean ol' dime-a-dozen.

Since a fraction can represent a ratio, this could be time: "ten to twelve"

Although when referring to time, 10 to 12 is not a ratio. It's a subtraction, while ratios deal with divisions or multiples, and are typically represented with a colon, rather than a slash. The slash is used in a fraction, instead.

In counting time, you're subtracting 10 minutes from 12:00. "To" is a stand-in for "until" or "before" in this case. 10 miunutes until 12:00, or 10 minutes before 12:00, for example.

As a ratio, "10 to 12" (10:12) would equate to "5 to 6" (5:6) or "15 to 18" (15:18) as well.

Or....

tl;dr I like math. :P

But one dime per dozen can be abbreviated as dime/dozen. :)

I thought it might be "Great Divide" ...my third grade teacher always called the Continental Divide, the Great Divide...but when I looked up "Great Divide" on google, there were so many meanings of "Great Divide" they were a dime a dozen.

Good one, Joe. Nice going, Kristen. Good answer, JoDeen. (✬‿✬)

Luv the Peanuts references. Nice one.
