A city lunch program for seniors received a grant of 1.925×106 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, we divide the grant amount by the cost per lunch:
1.925×10⁶ dollars ÷ $2.75 per lunch
This simplifies to:
7×10⁵ lunches
Therefore, the grant can provide 7×10⁵ senior lunches.
