A population of owls in a region has increased by 60 owls in the last 4 years. At this rate, how many owls will the population grow by in the next 2 years?(1 point)
owls
If the population of owls increased by 60 in 4 years, then the population grew by 60/4 = <<60/4=15>>15 owls per year.
Therefore, the population will grow by 15 owls/year * 2 years = <<15*2=30>>30 owls in the next 2 years. Answer: \boxed{30}.
To find out how many owls the population will grow by in the next 2 years, we need to determine the growth rate per year.
The population has increased by 60 owls in the last 4 years.
To find the growth rate per year, we divide the total increase in owls (60) by the number of years (4).
Growth rate per year = Total increase in owls / Number of years
= 60 owls / 4 years
= 15 owls per year
Now, we can calculate how many owls the population will grow by in the next 2 years by multiplying the growth rate per year by the number of years.
Growth in the next 2 years = Growth rate per year * Number of years
= 15 owls per year * 2 years
= 30 owls
Therefore, the population of owls will grow by 30 owls in the next 2 years.
To find out how many owls the population will grow by in the next 2 years, we need to determine the rate at which the population is increasing per year.
To do this, we can divide the total increase in population over the last 4 years (60 owls) by the number of years (4 years). This will give us the average increase per year.
Average Increase per Year = Total Increase / Number of Years
In this case, the total increase is 60 owls and the number of years is 4, so:
Average Increase per Year = 60 owls / 4 years = 15 owls/year
Now we know that the population of owls is increasing by 15 owls per year. To find out how many owls the population will grow by in the next 2 years, we simply multiply the average increase per year by the number of years:
Increase in Population in the Next 2 Years = Average Increase per Year * Number of Years
Substituting the known values:
Increase in Population in the Next 2 Years = 15 owls/year * 2 years = 30 owls
Therefore, the population of owls will grow by 30 owls in the next 2 years.
