There are 40 students in Joan’s class. She plans to invite them to her birthday party. She asked them to suggest a theme for her party. Three of every eight students suggested a rainbow-themed party. How many students suggested a rainbow-themed party? How many did not?(2 points) Suggested Rainbow Did not suggest Rainbow
To find the number of students who suggested a rainbow-themed party, first find how many students are in three of every eight students: 40 students / 8 students = <<40/8=5>>5 groups of 8 students
Then multiply the number of students per group by the number of groups to find the number of students who suggested a rainbow-themed party: 5 groups * 3 students/group = <<5*3=15>>15 students
Then subtract that number from the total number of students to find the number who did not suggest a rainbow-themed party: 40 students - 15 students = <<40-15=25>>25 students. Answer: \boxed{15, 25}.
To find the number of students who suggested a rainbow-themed party, we need to calculate three-eighths of the total number of students.
3/8 x 40 = 15
Therefore, 15 students suggested a rainbow-themed party.
To find the number of students who did not suggest a rainbow-themed party, we subtract the number of students who suggested a rainbow-themed party from the total number of students.
40 - 15 = 25
Therefore, 25 students did not suggest a rainbow-themed party.
To determine the number of students who suggested a rainbow-themed party, we can use the information given about the ratio of students who made the suggestion.
We are told that three out of every eight students suggested a rainbow-themed party. This means that for every eight students, three of them made this suggestion.
To calculate how many students suggested a rainbow-themed party, we can set up a proportion using the ratio given:
3/8 = x/40
To solve for x (the number of students who suggested a rainbow-themed party), we can cross-multiply and solve the equation:
3 * 40 = 8 * x
120 = 8x
x = 120 / 8
x = 15
Therefore, 15 students suggested a rainbow-themed party.
To find the number of students who did not make this suggestion, we can subtract the number of students who suggested a rainbow-themed party from the total number of students:
Total students - Students suggested rainbow = Students who did not suggest a rainbow
40 - 15 = 25
Therefore, 25 students did not suggest a rainbow-themed party.
