Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First make the denominators the same.

Take the LCM of (8, 12 , 8) = 24

So,

$\frac{1}{8}, \frac{11}{12}, \frac{9}{8} \ becomes \ \frac{3}{24}, \frac{22}{24}, \frac{27}{24}$

$Order \ from \ least \ to \ greatest \ \\\\\frac{3}{24} < \frac{22}{24} < \frac{27}{24}$

That is,

$\frac{1}{8}, \frac{11}{12}, \frac{9}{8}$

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.
