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 point)
• 7 × 10^5
• 7 × 10^6
• 0.7 × 10^6
• 0.7 × 10^5
To find the number of senior lunches that can be provided, we divide the grant amount by the cost per lunch:
1.925 x 10^6 dollars / $2.75 per lunch
To divide these numbers, we subtract the exponents:
10^6 / 10^0 = 10^(6-0) = 10^6
And we divide the decimals:
1.925 / 2.75 ≈ 0.7
Combining these results, we get:
0.7 x 10^6
So the answer is 0.7 × 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 x 10^6 dollars ÷ $2.75 per lunch
We can divide these numbers as follows:
1.925 x 10^6 ÷ $2.75 = 7 x 10^5
The answer, written in scientific notation, is 7 x 10^5.
Therefore, the correct answer is 7 × 10^5.
To find out how many senior lunches the grant can provide, we need to divide the total grant amount by the cost per lunch.
The total grant amount is given as 1.925 x 10^6 dollars, and the cost per lunch is $2.75.
So, the number of senior lunches the grant can provide can be found by dividing 1.925 x 10^6 by $2.75.
Dividing 1.925 x 10^6 by $2.75 gives us:
(1.925 x 10^6) / (2.75) = 7 x 10^5
Therefore, the answer is 7 x 10^5.
So, the correct option is: • 7 x 10^5.
