The number of lunches that the grant can provide can be found by dividing the grant amount by the cost per lunch:
(1.925 x 10^6 dollars) / ($2.75 per lunch)
Using the rules of scientific notation for division, we can first divide the numbers and then subtract the exponents:
1.925 / 2.75 = 0.7
10^6 / 10^0 = 10^(6-0) = 10^6
Therefore, the answer in scientific notation is:
0.7 x 10^6
So the correct answer is c) 0.7 x 10^6.
A city lunch program for seniors received a grant of 1.925 x 10^6 dollars. Divide that figure by the cost of $2.75 per lunch to find out how many senior lunches that grant can provide. Write the answer in scientific Notation.
