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

Answer 1

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}.
