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 is \(1.025 \times 10^6\) dollars, and each lunch costs $2.75.
First, divide the grant amount by the cost of each lunch:
\[
\text{Number of lunches} = \frac{1.025 \times 10^6}{2.75}
\]
Calculating the division:
\[
\frac{1.025}{2.75} \approx 0.372727
\]
Now, multiply by \(10^6\):
\[
0.372727 \times 10^6
\]
To express this in scientific notation, we want to adjust the decimal point:
\[
0.372727 \times 10^6 = 3.72727 \times 10^5
\]
You can round it to three significant figures:
\[
3.73 \times 10^5
\]
Thus, the grant can provide approximately **\(3.73 \times 10^5\)** senior lunches.
