So,

The secret to solving problems with ratios is to find the value of one unit.

5:7 = 12 units total

To find one unit, divide the total number of students by the total number of units.
600/12 = a

Simplify
50/1 = a
50 = a

The value of each unit is 50.

Now, multiply the units by the numbers in the ratio.
50(5) = b
250 = boys

50(7) = x
350 = x

There are 350 girls.
