How many times larger is 9 x 10^9 than 3 x 10^-4?

The larger value is 9 x 10^9
The smaller value is 3 x 10^(-4)

Divide the larger over the smaller
Doing so will have you divide the coefficients 9 and 3 (numbers in front of the "times ten to the..." portions) to get 9/3 = 3. 
Then you'll also subtract the exponents: 9 minus (-4) = 9 - (-4) = 9 + 4 = 13

In summary so far, we got a coefficient of 3 and an exponent of 13

So the final answer is 3 x 10^13 (assuming you want scientific notation)

If you want to convert to standard notation, instead of scientific notation, move the decimal point in 3.0 thirteen spots to the right to get 

30,000,000,000,000

there are 13 zeros (four groups of 3 plus one just after the 3) in that value above. This is the number 30 trillion

A King in ancient times agreed to reward the inventor of chess with one grain of wheat on the first of the 64 squares of a chess
statuscvo [17]
Let's start by visualising this concept.

Number of grains on square:
1   2   4   8   16 ...

We can see that it starts to form a geometric sequence, with the common ratio being 2.

For the first question, we simply want the fifteenth term, so we just use the nth term geometric form:
T_n = ar^{n - 1}
T_{15} = 2^{14} = 16384

Thus, there are 16, 384 grains on the fifteenth square.

The second question begs the same process, only this time, it's a summation. Using our sum to n terms of geometric sequence, we get:
S_n = \frac{a(r^{n} - 1)}{r - 1}
S_{15} = \frac{2^{15} - 1}{2 - 1}
S_{15} = 2^{15} - 1 = 32767

Thus, there are 32, 767 total grains on the first 15 squares, and you should be able to work the rest from here.
