To find out how many students suggested a rainbow-themed party, we can use the given information that three out of every eight students recommended this theme.
Step 1: Calculate the number of students who suggested a rainbow-themed party.
- First, find the total number of groups of eight students among the 40 students: 40 ÷ 8 = 5 groups
- Then, multiply the number of groups by the number of students in each group who suggested a rainbow-themed party: 5 groups × 3 students = 15 students
Therefore, 15 students suggested a rainbow-themed party.
Step 2: Calculate the number of students who did not suggest a rainbow-themed party.
- Subtract the number of students who suggested a rainbow-themed party from the total number of students: 40 students - 15 students = 25 students
Therefore, 25 students did not suggest a rainbow-themed party.
To find the number of students that suggested a rainbow-themed party, we first need to calculate three-eighths of the total number of students in Joan's class.
Step 1: Calculate three-eighths of 40.
3/8 * 40 = 15
So, 15 students suggested a rainbow-themed party.
To find the number of students that 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 in the class.
Step 2: 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.
