A simple way to turn this into an equation is by replacing the words with letters:
1464B = 3/4 S

Then you have to remove the 3/4 from the right side of the equation. You can do this by dividing both sides by 3/4:
1464 / 3/4 = S

Then you have to do the sum:
1464
/ 3
= 0488

488
X 4
= 1952

There are 1952 students.
