To find out how many senior lunches the grant can provide, you can divide the total grant amount by the cost per lunch.
1. The total grant amount is \( 1.925 \times 10^6 \) dollars.
2. The cost per lunch is $2.75.
So, we perform the division:
\[
\text{Number of lunches} = \frac{1.925 \times 10^6}{2.75}
\]
To do the division:
1. Divide \( 1.925 \) by \( 2.75 \):
\[
1.925 \div 2.75 \approx 0.7000
\]
2. Now, since we are in scientific notation and we divided the number by \( 2.75 \), we can express the result:
\[
0.7000 \times 10^6
\]
In scientific notation, this can be simplified to:
\[
0.7 \times 10^6
\]
Thus, the number of senior lunches the grant can provide is:
\[
\boxed{0.7 \times 10^6}
\]
