Question

There are 40 students in Joan’s class. She plans to invite them to her birthday party. She asked them to suggest a theme for her party. Three of every eight students suggested a rainbow-themed party. How many students suggested a rainbow-themed party? How many did not?(2 points) Suggested Rainbow Did not suggest Rainbow

Answer 1

To find the number of students who suggested a rainbow-themed party, first find how many students are in three of every eight students: 40 students / 8 students = <<40/8=5>>5 groups of 8 students
Then multiply the number of students per group by the number of groups to find the number of students who suggested a rainbow-themed party: 5 groups * 3 students/group = <<5*3=15>>15 students
Then subtract that number from the total number of students to find the number who did not suggest a rainbow-themed party: 40 students - 15 students = <<40-15=25>>25 students. Answer: \boxed{15, 25}.
