    The fraction of boys = 16/28 = 4/7

    Number of boys in school is about 4/7 * 176 = 101

    In order to solve this problem, it is best to set up a proportion. The proportion you would use is 16/28=x/476. Cross multiply and then divide both sides of the equation by 28 to get x. So, there are about 272 boys in the total of 476 students in the school.
