board. On the second square the King would place two grains of​ wheat, on the third​ square, four grains of​ wheat, and on the fourth square eight grains of wheat. If the amount of wheat is doubled in this way on each of the remaining​ squares, how many grains of wheat should be placed on square 20?

Answer:

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is 1 grain on square 1 , 2 on square 2, 4 on square 3  and so on. This is a geometric sequence with the nth term = a1r^(n - 1) where a1 = first term , r = common ratio.

So the 20th term  (the number of grains on square 20) would be

 1*2^(20-1)  = 524,288.

Total =   a1 * (r^n - 1) / (r - 1)

=  (2^20 - 1)  / 2-1 =  1.048,575
