A town’s population has grown by 600 people in the last 2 years. On average, how many people will the town grow by in 5 years?(1 point) Responses 300 people 300 people 240 people 240 people 1,500 people 1,500 people 3,000 people
If the town's population has grown by 600 people in the last 2 years, we can figure out the average annual growth rate:
600 people / 2 years = 300 people per year.
To find out how much the town will grow on average in 5 years, we multiply the annual growth rate by 5:
300 people/year * 5 years = 1,500 people.
So, the town will grow by an average of 1,500 people in 5 years.
