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

1.925 x 10^6 dollars / $2.75 per lunch

To divide these numbers, we need to divide the numerical parts and subtract the exponents:

1.925 / 2.75 = 0.7

10^6 / 1 = 10^6

Combining these results, we get:

0.7 x 10^6 lunches

Since 0.7 multiplied by 10^6 is the same as moving the decimal point 6 places to the right, the answer can be expressed in scientific notation as:

7 x 10^5 lunches
