A city lunch program for seniors received a grant of 1.925x10^6 dollars. Divide that figure by the cost of $2.75 per lunch out how many senior lunches the grant can provide. Write the answer in scientific notation.

Answer 1

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

1.925x10^6 dollars / $2.75 per lunch

= (1.925x10^6) / 2.75

= 7x10^5 / 2.75

= 2.545x10^5

Therefore, the grant can provide 2.545x10^5 senior lunches.
