A city lunch program for seniors received a grant of 1.925 * 10 ^ 6 dollars Divide that figure by the cost of $2.75 per lunch to find out how many senior lunches the grant can provide. Write the answer in scientific notation (1 point)

Answer 1

To find out how many senior lunches the grant can provide, we need to divide the grant amount by the cost per lunch, which is $2.75.

The grant amount is given in scientific notation as 1.925 * 10^6 dollars.

Dividing this by $2.75 per lunch, we get:

(1.925 * 10^6 dollars) / (2.75 dollars per lunch)

To divide these values, we subtract the exponent of dollars in the denominator (0) from the exponent of dollars in the numerator (6) to get the exponent of the result:

6 - 0 = 6

So the answer, in scientific notation, is:

(1.925 * 10^6 dollars) / (2.75 dollars per lunch) = 0.7 * 10^6 lunches
