There are 147 students in school

Solution:

Let "x" be the total students in school

Given that,

Three sevenths of the students in a school are in sixth grade

Therefore,

[tex]\frac{3}{7} \times x = sixth grade[/tex]

sixty three of them are sixth graders

Therefore,

sixth grade students = 63

Therefore,

[tex]\frac{3}{7} \times x = 63\\\\x = 63 \times \frac{7}{3}\\\\x = 21 \times 7\\\\x = 147[/tex]

Thus there are 147 students in school
