A city lunch program for seniors received a grant of 1.925 x 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. 0.7 x 10^6
2. 7 x 10^5
3. 0.7 x 10^5
4. 7 x 10^6
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 x 10^6 dollars ÷ $2.75 per lunch = 7 x 10^5 lunches
Therefore, the answer is 2. 7 x 10^5.
To find out how many senior lunches the grant can provide, you need to divide the grant amount by the cost per lunch.
Given that the grant amount is 1.925 x 10^6 dollars and the cost per lunch is $2.75, you can divide the grant amount by the cost per lunch:
(1.925 x 10^6) / ($2.75)
To simplify this expression, convert both the grant amount and the cost per lunch to scientific notation:
1.925 x 10^6 = (1.925) x (10^6)
$2.75 = $2.75 x 10^0
Now you can perform the division:
(1.925 x 10^6) / ($2.75 x 10^0)
To divide the numbers, divide 1.925 by 2.75:
1.925 / 2.75 = 0.7
To divide the powers of 10, subtract the exponent of the divisor from the exponent of the dividend:
10^6 / 10^0 = 10^(6-0) = 10^6
So the final result is 0.7 x 10^6.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 1: 0.7 x 10^6.
To find out how many senior lunches the grant can provide, we need to divide the grant amount ($1.925 x 10^6) by the cost per lunch ($2.75).
Dividing $1.925 x 10^6 by $2.75, we get:
(1.925 x 10^6) / (2.75) = 7 x 10^5
The answer is option 2: 7 x 10^5.
