To find the number of students who suggested a rainbow-themed party, you would need to divide the total number of students by the fraction of students who suggested the theme.

The fraction of students who suggested a rainbow-themed party is 3/8.
Therefore, the number of students who suggested a rainbow-themed party is (3/8) x 40 = 15 students.

So, 15 students suggested a rainbow-themed party.
