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.
To find out how many senior lunches the grant can provide, divide the total grant amount of $1.925×10^6 by the cost of $2.75 per lunch:
1.925×10^6 / $2.75
To divide these numbers, divide 1.925 by 2.75:
1.925 / 2.75 = 0.7
Now, divide 10^6 by 10^0 to keep the answer in scientific notation:
10^6 / 10^0 = 10^6
Therefore, the grant can provide 0.7×10^6 or 7×10^5 senior lunches.
To find out how many senior lunches the grant can provide, divide the grant amount by the cost of each lunch.
1.925 × 10^6 dollars ÷ $2.75 per lunch
To divide numbers in scientific notation, divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:
1.925 ÷ 2.75 = 0.7
Then, subtract the exponent of the divisor from the exponent of the dividend:
10^6 ÷ 1 = 10^6
Combining the results, the number of senior lunches the grant can provide is approximately 7.0 × 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.
The grant amount is 1.925×10^6 dollars, and the cost per lunch is $2.75.
To divide these two numbers, we divide the grant amount by the cost per lunch:
1.925×10^6 dollars ÷ $2.75
To simplify this division, we can divide the numbers separately and then adjust the exponent.
1.925 ÷ 2.75 = 0.7
Now, we need to adjust the exponent. Since we divided by 10^6, we subtract the exponents:
10^6 divided by 10^0 = 10^(6-0) = 10^6
Therefore, the result is 0.7×10^6 lunches.
To express this answer in scientific notation, we can write it as:
7.0×10^5 lunches.
