To find out how many senior lunches the grant can provide, we need to divide the grant amount of 1.925×10^6 dollars by the cost of $2.75 per lunch.
The calculation is as follows:
1.925×10^6 / 2.75 = 7×10^5
Therefore, the grant can provide 7×10^5 senior lunches.
To find out how many senior lunches can be provided with the grant, we need to divide the grant amount by the cost per lunch.
Grant amount: $1.925×10^6
Cost per lunch: $2.75
Now divide the grant amount by the cost per lunch:
(1.925×10^6) ÷ ($2.75)
To divide numbers written in scientific notation, divide the coefficients (the non-exponential part) and subtract the exponents:
(1.925 ÷ 2.75) × 10^(6-0)
Simplifying the division:
0.7 × 10^6
Therefore, the grant can provide 0.7×10^6 senior lunches.
In scientific notation, we write this answer as:
0.7×10^6
