To determine how many senior lunches the grant of \(1.925 \times 10^6\) dollars can provide at a cost of \(2.75\) dollars per lunch, we need to divide \(1.925 \times 10^6\) by \(2.75\).

First, let's perform the division:

\[ \frac{1.925 \times 10^6}{2.75} \approx 0.7 \times 10^6 \]

To confirm this calculation, we first divide the numbers:

\[ 1.925 \div 2.75 \approx 0.7 \]

Now, we multiply by \(10^6\):

\[ 0.7 \times 10^6 \]

This means the number of senior lunches provided by the grant is approximately \(0.7 \times 10^6\) lunches.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

0.7×10^6
