Suppose a study is completed that finds that the number of wildflowers in Chandler decreases by 18% every 12 years. In 2020, there were approximately 3.5 million wildflowers in Chandler.

Assuming the number of wildflowers is changing exponentially, how many wildflowers do you estimate there will be in 2025 (5 years later)?
Demonstrate mathematically why it is not true that the number of wildflowers in Chandler decreases by 9% every 6 years.
Determine how long it will take for the number of wildflowers in Chandler to decrease by 50%.
