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?(1 point)

1 answer

To find the rate of growth, we can divide the increase in owls by the number of years. Therefore, the population has been growing by 60 owls / 4 years = <<60/4=15>>15 owls per year.
In the next 2 years, the population will grow by 15 owls/year * 2 years = <<15*2=30>>30 owls. Answer: \boxed{30}.
