    You haven't said what the problem is that you need to solve.

    We can plug the given number into your expression ...
    I = I0*(10^(dB/10)) = I0*(10^(282/10)) = I0*10^28.2

    The sound intensity generated by your largish nuclear bomb is 1.6*10^28 times the sound intensity at the threshold of hearing.

    10^28.2 = (10^28)*(10^.2) = (10*28)*(1.5849)
