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

The total grant amount is:

\[ 1.925 \times 10^6 \text{ dollars} \]

The cost per lunch is:

\[ 2.75 \text{ dollars} \]

Now we perform the division:

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

First, we divide the coefficients:

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

Next, we retain the \(10^6\), so we multiply the result by \(10^6\):

\[ 0.7 \times 10^6 \]

So the number of senior lunches the grant can provide is:

\[ 0.7 \times 10^6 \]

Thus, the answer in scientific notation is:

\[ 0.7 \times 10^6 \]

So, the correct response is:

0.7×10^6.
