students did not
To find out how many students suggested a rainbow-themed party, we can use the ratio of 3 students to every 8 students.
First, we can divide the total number of students by 8 to find the number of groups of 8 students: 40 / 8 = 5 groups
Next, we can multiply the number of groups by 3 to find the total number of students who suggested a rainbow-themed party: 5 groups * 3 students = <<5*3=15>>15 students
Therefore, 15 students suggested a rainbow-themed party.
To find out how many students 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 students - 15 students = <<40-15=25>>25 students
Therefore, 25 students did not suggest a rainbow-themed party.
