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)
© 0.7 * 10 ^ 6
7 * 10 ^ 6
© 7 * 10 ^ 5
© 0.7 * 10 ^ 5
The 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 per lunch.
The grant amount is 1.925 * 10^6 dollars, and the cost per lunch is $2.75.
Dividing 1.925 * 10^6 by $2.75, we get:
(1.925 * 10^6) / $2.75 = 7 * 10^5
So, the grant can provide 7 * 10^5 senior lunches.
Therefore, the correct answer is © 7 * 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.
The grant amount is given as 1.925 * 10^6 dollars.
Dividing this by the cost per lunch, which is $2.75, we get:
(1.925 * 10^6) / 2.75
To divide numbers written in scientific notation, you can divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:
1.925 / 2.75 = 0.70 (rounded to two decimal places)
10^6 / 10^0 = 10^(6-0) = 10^6
So, the answer in scientific notation is 0.70 * 10^6.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
© 0.7 * 10^6
