Answer 1

To find out how many senior lunches the grant can provide, we divide the total grant amount by the cost per lunch:

Given:

• Grant amount = \( 1.925 \times 10^6 \) dollars
• Cost per lunch = \( 2.75 \) dollars

Now, we perform the division:

\[ \text{Number of lunches} = \frac{1.925 \times 10^6}{2.75} \]

Calculating the division:

\[ 1.925 \div 2.75 \approx 0.7 \]

Now, we multiply this result by \( 10^6 \):

\[ 0.7 \times 10^6 \]

So, the number of senior lunches the grant can provide is:

\[ \boxed{0.7 \times 10^6} \]
