To find the number of students who suggested a rainbow theme party, we need to calculate three-eighths (3/8) of 40.
Step 1: Calculate 3/8 of 40.
(3/8) * 40 = 3 * 5 = 15
So, 15 students suggested a rainbow themed party.
To find the number of students who did not suggest a rainbow theme party, we subtract the number of students who suggested a rainbow theme from the total number of students.
Step 2: Calculate the number of students who did not suggest a rainbow theme party.
Total number of students - Number of students who suggested a rainbow theme party
40 - 15 = 25
So, 25 students did not suggest a rainbow themed party.
