1 answer

students did not suggest a rainbow-themed party.

To find the number of students who suggested a rainbow-themed party, we can take three-eighths of the total number of students in the class:

(3/8) * 40 = 15

Therefore, 15 students suggested a rainbow-themed party.

To find the number of students who did not suggest a rainbow-themed party, we can subtract the number of students who suggested a rainbow-themed party from the total number of students:

40 - 15 = 25

Therefore, 25 students did not suggest a rainbow-themed party.
