To find the number of students who suggested a rainbow-themed party, we need to calculate three-eighths of the total number of students.
Step 1: Find three-eighths of 40
3/8 * 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 can subtract the number of students who suggested from the total number of students.
Step 2: Find the number of students who did not suggest a rainbow-themed party
40 - 15 = 25
Therefore, 25 students did not suggest a rainbow-themed party.
To find the number of students who suggested a rainbow-themed party, we can use the information provided: three out of every eight students suggested a rainbow-themed party.
To find how many students suggested a rainbow-themed party, we need to calculate three-eighths of the total number of students in Joan's class:
(3/8) * 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 can 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 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.
