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.
1.925×10^6 dollars ÷ $2.75 per lunch
This can be simplified by dividing the numbers:
1.925 ÷ 2.75 = 0.7
To express this answer in scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point one place to the right and adjust the exponent accordingly:
0.7 × 10^6
Therefore, the answer is 0.7×10^6 or 0.7 times 10^6.
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.
To perform this division, we divide 1.925×10^6 by 2.75.
This can be done as follows:
1.925×10^6 ÷ 2.75 = (1.925 ÷ 2.75) × 10^6 = 0.7 × 10^6
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 × 10^6 / $2.75
Dividing these two numbers, we get:
= 7 × 10^5
Therefore, the grant can provide 7 × 10^5 (seven times ten to the power of five) senior lunches.
So, the correct answer is:
7 × 10^5.
