How many students suggested a rainbow-themed party? How many did not?(2 points) Suggested a rainbow-themed party Did not suggest a rainbow-themed party 5 15 20 25 15 20 25 35

Answer 1

To find out how many students suggested a rainbow-themed party, we need to find three-eighths of the total number of students.

Three-eighths of 40 students is (3/8) * 40 = 15 students.

Therefore, 15 students suggested a rainbow-themed party.

To find out how many students 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 students did not suggest a rainbow-themed party.
