The ratio of boys to girls in the 7th grade is 2 to 4, which can be simplified to 1 to 2.
If there are 850 kids in the 7th grade, the total ratio is 1+2 =3.
To find the number of girls, divide the total number of kids by the total ratio: 850/3 = <<850/3=283.33333>>283.33333.
Since we cannot have a fraction of a person, round to the nearest whole number: 283. Rounded to the nearest whole number is 283 Answer: \boxed{283}.
