To find the unit rate of discovery for the Myron animals, you would divide the total number of new species discovered by the time period.
You mentioned that 4,000 new species have been discovered in the last 2 years. The unit rate can be calculated as follows:
\[ \text{Unit Rate} = \frac{\text{Total Number of New Species}}{\text{Time Period (in years)}} \]
Substituting in the values:
\[ \text{Unit Rate} = \frac{4,000 \text{ species}}{2 \text{ years}} = 2,000 \text{ species per year} \]
Thus, the unit rate of discovery is 2,000 species per year.
