\text{Let the number of boys be x and number of girls be y.}\\
\\
\text{and there are total 416 students enrolled in the course. so we have}\\
\\
x+y=416 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ......(i)\\
\\
\text{also given that there are seven boys to every six girls, that is}\\
\\
\frac{x}{y}=\frac{7}{6}

\Rightarrow 6x=7y\\
\\
\Rightarrow y=\frac{6x}{7}\\
\\
\text{substitute this value of y in (i), we get}\\
\\
x+\frac{6x}{7}=416\\
\\
\Rightarrow \frac{7x+6x}{7}=416\\
\\
\Rightarrow \frac{13x}{7}=416\\
\\
\Rightarrow x=\frac{416\times 7}{13}\\
\\
\Rightarrow x=224

Hence the number of boys in the course are: 224
