Well, 1 billion is 1,000,000,000, and it has nine zeros. Any number with the word "billion" after it is put in numerical form by multiplying that number by 10^9 or 1,000,000,000.
General definition: Any real number x with the word "billion" after it is put into proper numerical form by the equation: x * 10^9.
10^9 of course means that you move the decimal place of the number nine places to the right. If you move the decimal point of 3.2 nine places to the right, you obtain 3.2 billion, or 3,200,000,000. You count the zeros and realize that there are eight zeros in this number. Therefore there are 8 zeros in 3.2 billion.
There you go, I'm glad I could help. :)
