Question

Suggested Rainbow

Did not suggest Rainbow

Answer 1

To find the number of students who suggested a rainbow-themed party, we can use the fact that three out of every eight students suggested it.

The total number of students who suggested a rainbow-themed party is 40 * (3/8) = <<40*(3/8)=15>>15 students.

To find the number of students who did not suggest a rainbow-themed party, we subtract the number of students who suggested it from the total number of students: 40 - 15 = <<40-15=25>>25 students.
