    28 students total.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let's use a ratio:

    boys : girls

    4 : 3

    16 : 12

    To find the total, we need to add 16 and 12 which equals 28

    28 students

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If 4/7 of the students are boys,

    then 1 - 4/7 = girls

    7/7 - 4/7 = 3/7

    total students * 3/7 = girls

    total students * 3/7 = 12

    Multiply each side by 7/3

    total students * 3/7 * 7/3 = 12*7/3

    total students = 28
