PLS HELP

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

Annual increase = 60 owls / 4 years = 15 owls per year

15owls*2year=30owls

The population of owls is expected to grow by 30 owls in the next 2 years

Answer 2

30 Owls.

Explanation:

60 owls / 4 years = 15 owls per year. Since we want to know the increase in owls for the next 2 years, we can multiply the average increase per year (15 owls) by the number of years (2). 15 owls per year is 2 years = 30 owls. The population of owls in the region is expected to grow by 30 owls in the next 2 years if the current rate of increase continues.
