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?
The rate of increase in the population of owls is calculated by dividing the increase in the number of owls by the number of years: 60 owls / 4 years = <<60/4=15>>15 owls/year.
The population will therefore increase by 15 owls/year * 2 years = <<15*2=30>>30 owls. Answer: \boxed{30}.
To find out how many owls the population will grow by in the next 2 years, we need to calculate the average growth rate per year.
First, we divide the total growth in 4 years (60 owls) by the number of years (4 years) to find the average growth rate per year:
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 average growth rate per year by the number of years:
15 owls per year * 2 years = 30 owls.
Therefore, the owl population 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 average rate of growth per year. We can do this by dividing the total population growth over 4 years by 4.
Given that the population has increased by 60 owls in the last 4 years, the average yearly growth rate is 60 owls / 4 years = 15 owls per year.
Now, we can calculate the growth in the next 2 years by multiplying the average yearly growth rate by the number of years, which in this case is 2.
Therefore, the population of owls is projected to grow by 15 owls/year × 2 years = 30 owls in the next 2 years.
