If 42 represents 1/16 of the entire class then basically just multiply 42 by 16 to get your answer.
Meaning that there are 672 students within the freshman class.
Unfortunately I'm unsure how to write it out as an equation... though... as I mentioned that is the answer.
In regards, I do hope this helps in someway. Have a great rest of your day!
