The ratio of boys to girls is given as 2 to 4, which can be simplified to 1 to 2.
Since the total number of students in 7th grade is 850, we can divide this number into three equal parts (1+2=3 parts).
To find the number of girls, we multiply the total number of students by the fraction representing girls in the ratio, which is 2/3.
Number of girls = 850 * (2/3) = 567
So the expected number of girls in the 7th grade is 567 out of 850 students.
