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.
To find out how many students suggested a rainbow-themed party, we need to determine three-eighths of the total number of students.
Step 1: Calculate three-eighths of 40.
40 * (3/8) = 15
Therefore, 15 students suggested a rainbow-themed party.
To determine how many students suggested a rainbow-themed party, we need to calculate three-eighths of the total number of students in Joan's class.
Step 1: Calculate three-eighths of 40.
To do this, multiply 40 by three and then divide the result by eight.
(40 * 3) / 8 = 120 / 8 = 15
Therefore, 15 students suggested a rainbow-themed party. The correct answer is 15.
