To find out how many senior lunches the grant can provide, we need to divide the grant amount of 1.925x10^6 dollars by the cost of $2.75 per lunch.
Dividing 1.925x10^6 by $2.75 gives us:
(1.925x10^6) / (2.75) = 7x10^5
So, the grant can provide 7x10^5 senior lunches.
Therefore, the answer in scientific notation is 7x10^5.
To find out how many senior lunches the grant can provide, you need to divide the grant amount by the cost per lunch.
The grant amount is given as 1.925×10^6 dollars, and the cost per lunch is $2.75.
To perform the division, you divide the grant amount by the cost per lunch:
1.925×10^6 / $2.75 ≈ 700,000.
The answer, in scientific notation, is 7×10^5.
