Question

multiply \\(\frac{1}{5}\\) times 10 to find how much the height of the snow increased by after 10 hours.

\\(s = 4 + \frac{1}{5}x\\)
\\(s = 4 + \frac{1}{5} \cdot 10\\)
\\(s = 4 + \square\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the product

$\frac{1}{5} \times 10 = 2$

Step2: Substitute to find total height

$s = 4 + 2$

Answer:

The value for the box is $2$, and the total snow height after 10 hours is $6$ cm. The amount the snow height increased by is $2$ cm.
