To find out how many owls the population will grow by in the next 2 years, we need to divide the increase in the population over 4 years by 4 to find the average annual increase.
Average annual increase = (60 owls) / (4 years) = 15 owls/year
Then we can multiply the average annual increase by the number of years we want to calculate for.
Increase in population in the next 2 years = (15 owls/year) × (2 years) = 30 owls
Therefore, the population will grow by 30 owls in the next 2 years.
A population of owls in a region has increased by 60 owls in the 4 years. At this rate, how many owl will the population grow by in the next 2 years
