    There are 350 girls in the school.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. Let's review all the information provided for answering the question correctly:

    Ratio of number of boys to the girls = 5:7

    Number of students in the school = 600

    2. How many girls are there in the school?

    Number of girls = x

    Number of boys = 5/7x

    x + 5x/7 = 600

    7x + 5x = 4,200

    12x = 4,200

    x = 350

    There are 350 girls in the school.

    And the number of boys is (600 - 350) = 250.
