To find out how many senior lunches the grant can provide, we need to divide the total grant amount ($1.925×10^6) by the cost per lunch ($2.75).
So, the calculation would be:
1.925×10^6 ÷ 2.75 = 7×10^5
Therefore, the grant can provide 7 times 10 to the power of 5 senior 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.
The cost per lunch is $2.75.
Dividing 1.925×10^6 by $2.75 gives us:
1.925×10^6 / $2.75 ≈ 700,000.
Writing the answer in scientific notation, we get:
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.
Given that the grant amount is 1.925 × 10^6 dollars and the cost per lunch is $2.75, we can calculate the number of senior lunches as follows:
Number of senior lunches = Grant amount / Cost per lunch
Plugging in the values, we get:
Number of senior lunches = 1.925 × 10^6 dollars / $2.75
Dividing the two numbers, we get:
Number of senior lunches = 7 × 10^5
Therefore, the answer is 7 × 10^5 senior lunches.
