To divide \(3.3 \times 10^4\) by \(5.5 \times 10^7\), you can separate the numbers and the powers of 10:

\[
\frac{3.3 \times 10^4}{5.5 \times 10^7} = \frac{3.3}{5.5} \times \frac{10^4}{10^7}
\]

First, calculate \(\frac{3.3}{5.5}\):

\[
\frac{3.3}{5.5} = 0.6
\]

Next, calculate \(\frac{10^4}{10^7}\):

\[
\frac{10^4}{10^7} = 10^{4-7} = 10^{-3}
\]

Now, combine the results:

\[
0.6 \times 10^{-3}
\]

To express this in proper scientific notation, convert \(0.6\) to \(6.0\):

\[
0.6 \times 10^{-3} = 6.0 \times 10^{-4}
\]

Thus, the final answer is:

\[
\boxed{6 \times 10^{-4}}
\]

To find out how many senior lunches the grant can provide, divide the total amount of the grant \(1.925 \times 10^6\) dollars by the cost per lunch of \(2.75\) dollars.

First, perform the division:

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

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

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

Now, combine this with the power of ten:

\[
0.7 \times 10^6
\]

Since we need to express the answer in scientific notation, we write it as:

\[
7.0 \times 10^5
\]

Thus, the final answer is:

\[
\boxed{7 \times 10^5}
\]

To find out how many gallons of perfume will be in each container, divide the total amount of perfume (10.5 gallons) by the number of containers (3.5 × 10²).

\[
\text{Gallons per container} = \frac{10.5}{3.5 \times 10^2}
\]

First, divide \(10.5\) by \(3.5\):

\[
\frac{10.5}{3.5} = 3
\]

Now, we need to divide by \(10^2\):

\[
\frac{3}{10^2} = 3 \times 10^{-2}
\]

Therefore, the answer is:

\[
\boxed{3 \times 10^{-2}}
\]

To find the number of square feet of the pavilion, we need to divide the total number of bricks by the number of bricks per square foot.

Given:
- Total bricks = \(2.967 \times 10^5\)
- Bricks per square foot = \(6.9\)

We can set up the calculation as follows:

\[
\text{Square feet} = \frac{2.967 \times 10^5}{6.9}
\]

Calculating \(\frac{2.967}{6.9}\):

\[
\frac{2.967}{6.9} \approx 0.43
\]

Now, we include the power of ten:

\[
0.43 \times 10^5
\]

To write this in proper scientific notation:

\[
0.43 \times 10^5 = 4.3 \times 10^4
\]

Thus, the final answer is:

\[
\boxed{4.3 \times 10^4}
\]
