Answer:
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.
