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
To find the rate of increase per year, we divide the total increase over the 4 years by the number of years: 60 owls / 4 years = <<60/4=15>>15 owls/year
To find the increase over the next 2 years, we multiply the rate of increase per year by the number of years: 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 determine the average rate of growth per year.
The population has increased by 60 owls in the last 4 years. Therefore, the average growth per year is calculated by dividing the total growth (60 owls) by the number of years (4 years).
Average growth per year = Total growth / Number of years
Average growth per year = 60 owls / 4 years
Average growth per year = 15 owls per year
Now that we know the average growth per year is 15 owls, we can calculate the growth in the next 2 years by multiplying the average growth per year by the number of years.
Growth in the next 2 years = Average growth per year × Number of years
Growth in the next 2 years = 15 owls per year × 2 years
Growth in the next 2 years = 30 owls
Therefore, the population is expected to 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 growth rate per year.
To calculate the average growth rate per year, we divide the total growth over a certain period by the number of years in that period. In this case, the total growth over the last 4 years is 60 owls.
Average growth per year = Total growth / Number of years
Average growth per year = 60 owls / 4 years
Average growth per year = 15 owls
Now that we know the average growth per year is 15 owls, we can calculate the expected growth in the next 2 years by multiplying this growth rate by the number of years.
Expected growth in the next 2 years = Average growth per year * Number of years
Expected growth in the next 2 years = 15 owls/year * 2 years
Expected growth in the next 2 years = 30 owls
Therefore, the population of owls is expected to grow by 30 owls in the next 2 years.
