To find out how many students suggested a rainbow-themed party, you need to calculate three-eighths of the total number of students.
First, calculate three-eighths of 40: (3/8) * 40 = 15
So, 15 students suggested a rainbow-themed party.
To find out how many students suggested a rainbow-themed party, we can use the given information that three out of every eight students suggested this theme.
First, we need to determine how many students out of the total suggested the theme. To do this, we calculate 3/8 of the total number of students:
(3/8) * 40 = 3 * 5 = 15
Therefore, 15 students suggested a rainbow-themed party. The correct answer is 15.
To find the number of students who suggested a rainbow-themed party, we need to calculate three-eighths of the total number of students in Joan's class.
First, we find the fraction of students who suggested a rainbow-themed party by dividing 3 (the number of students who suggested a rainbow-themed party) by 8 (the total number of students who made suggestions): 3/8.
Next, multiply the fraction by the total number of students in Joan's class to find the number of students who suggested a rainbow-themed party: 3/8 * 40 = 15.
Therefore, 15 students suggested a rainbow-themed party. Therefore, the correct answer is 15.
