A city lunch program for seniors received a grant of 1.925 × 10^6 dollars. Divide that figure by the cost of $2.75 per lunch to find out how many senior lunches the grant can provide. Write the answer in scientific notation. (1 point)
7 × 10^5
0.7 × 10^5
0.7 × 10^6
7 × 10^6
To find out how many senior lunches the grant can provide, we need to divide the total grant amount by the cost per lunch.
(1.925 × 10^6 dollars) / ($2.75 per lunch) = 7 × 10^5
So the answer is 7 × 10^5.
To find out how many senior lunches the grant can provide, we need to divide the grant amount by the cost per lunch.
1.925 × 10^6 dollars ÷ $2.75 per lunch
To divide these numbers in scientific notation, we need to divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:
1.925 ÷ 2.75 = 0.7
10^6 ÷ 10^0 = 10^6
So the answer in scientific notation is 0.7 × 10^6. Therefore, the correct answer is:
0.7 × 10^6
To find out how many senior lunches the grant can provide, we need to divide the grant amount by the cost of each lunch.
Grant amount: 1.925 × 10^6 dollars
Cost per lunch: $2.75
The number of senior lunches the grant can provide is given by:
1.925 × 10^6 dollars / $2.75 per lunch
To divide these numbers, we first need to divide the numerical parts and then subtract the exponents:
1.925 / 2.75 = 0.7
The exponent for scientific notation will be the same as the original number, which is 10^6.
Therefore, the answer in scientific notation is 0.7 × 10^6.
