Question

a city lunch program for seniors received a grant of 1.925×10 power six 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 and scientific notation with the answer be 7×10 of 60.7×10 power of six or 0 0.7×10 power of five or 7×10 power of five

Answer 1

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

\[ \text{Number of lunches} = \frac{1.925 \times 10^6}{2.75} \]

Calculating the division:

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

Now, we can write \( 0.7 \) in scientific notation, which is \( 7 \times 10^{-1} \).

Now multiplying by \( 10^6 \):

\[ 0.7 \times 10^6 = 7 \times 10^{5} \]

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

\[ 7 \times 10^5 \]

Therefore, the correct answer is \( 7 \times 10^5 \).
