To find out how many students suggested a rainbow-themed party, we can first calculate the number of students who suggested this theme based on the ratio given (3 of every 8 students).
1. **Calculate the number of students who suggested a rainbow-themed party**:
\[
\text{Number of students suggesting a rainbow theme} = \left( \frac{3}{8} \right) \times 40
\]
\[
= \frac{3 \times 40}{8} = \frac{120}{8} = 15
\]
2. **Calculate the number of students who did not suggest a rainbow-themed party**:
\[
\text{Number of students not suggesting a rainbow theme} = 40 - 15 = 25
\]
Thus, **15 students** suggested a rainbow-themed party, and **25 students** did not.
