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? (1 point)
students suggested a rainbow-themed party, while
students did not.
To find the number of students who suggested a rainbow-themed party, we need to find three-eighths of 40.
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 who did from the total number of students.
40 - 15 = 25
Therefore, 25 students did not suggest a rainbow-themed party.
