Answer:

10 sixth graders are in the science club.

Explanation:

The total number of members is 25. The 4 in 40% is in the tenths place. We are going to turn 40 into a decimal. When we turn it into a decimal it would be 0.40 because the place after the decimal is the tenths place, the place after that is the hundredth place and so on. Then you multiply 25 by 0.40 which equals 10.

To show your work:

40/100 = 0.4

25 x 0.4 = 10.

There are 10 sixth graders in the science club.
