To determine the number of students who suggested a rainbow-themed party, we first need to find out how many students out of 40 make up three-eighths of the class.
Three-eighths of 40 is (3/8) * 40 = <<(3/8)*40=15>>15 students.
Therefore, 15 students suggested a rainbow-themed party.
To find out how many students did not suggest a rainbow-themed party, we subtract the number of students who did suggest it from the total number of students in the class.
Total students - Students who suggested a rainbow-themed party = 40 - 15 = <<40-15=25>>25 students.
So, 25 students did not suggest a rainbow-themed party.
