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)
To find out how many senior lunches the grant can provide, we need to divide the grant amount by the cost per lunch, which is $2.75.
The grant amount is given in scientific notation as 1.925 * 10^6 dollars.
Dividing this by $2.75 per lunch, we get:
(1.925 * 10^6 dollars) / (2.75 dollars per lunch)
To divide these values, we subtract the exponent of dollars in the denominator (0) from the exponent of dollars in the numerator (6) to get the exponent of the result:
6 - 0 = 6
So the answer, in scientific notation, is:
(1.925 * 10^6 dollars) / (2.75 dollars per lunch) = 0.7 * 10^6 lunches
To find out how many senior lunches the grant can provide, we need to divide the grant amount by the cost per lunch.
Grant amount = 1.925 * 10^6 dollars
Cost per lunch = $2.75
Number of senior lunches = Grant amount / Cost per lunch
= (1.925 * 10^6 dollars) / ($2.75)
To divide these numbers, we can divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:
Number of senior lunches = 1.925 * 10^6 / 2.75
To convert this into scientific notation, we need to express the result as a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by an appropriate power of 10.
1.925 / 2.75 = 0.7
Therefore, the number of senior lunches that the grant can provide is approximately 0.7 * 10^6 or 7 * 10^5 lunches.
To find out how many senior lunches the grant can provide, we need to divide the grant amount by the cost per lunch.
First, let's convert the grant amount to standard decimal notation. 1.925 * 10^6 can be written as 1,925,000.
Next, divide the grant amount by the cost per lunch:
1,925,000 / 2.75 = 700,000.
However, the question asks for the answer in scientific notation. To express 700,000 in scientific notation, we count the number of decimal places we moved the decimal point to divide by 2.75. In this case, we moved the decimal point three places to the left.
So, the answer, in scientific notation, is 7 * 10^5.
