To find out how many senior lunches the grant can provide, you need to divide the total grant amount by the cost per lunch.

The grant amount: \( 1.925 \times 10^6 \) dollars

Cost per lunch: \( 2.75 \) dollars

Now, perform the division:

\[ \frac{1.925 \times 10^6}{2.75} \]

Calculating \( \frac{1.925}{2.75} \):

\[ \frac{1.925}{2.75} \approx 0.7 \]

Now, multiply by \( 10^6 \):

\[ 0.7 \times 10^6 \]

Thus, the answer in scientific notation is:

\[ 0.7 \times 10^6 \]

The correct response is:

0.7×106 (0.7 times \( 10 \) to the power of \( 6 \))
