Boys to girls is 3:5, so for every 3 boys, there are 5 girls.

Divide total boys by 3:

39 / 3 = 13

Multiply that number by 5:

13 * 5 = 65

There would be 65 girls.

Evaluate Ic2 + b2l, given a = 5, b = -3, and c= -2.

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Ic² + b²l = 13 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to evaluate the expression Ic² + b²l with unknowns b and c and having the values of b and c respectively - 3 and - 2.

Now, Ic² + b²l

= I(- 2)² + (- 3)²l {Putting the values of b and c}

= I4 + 9l

= I13l

= 13 units.

Therefore, Ic² + b²l = 13 units. (Answer)
