Answer:

Brother read 8 books

Sophia read 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of book Sophia and her brother read is 32 and 8.

Distribution of books:

Given that;

Total number of books = 40 books

Number of book Sophia read = 4[Number of book Sophia's brother read]

Find:

Number of books each person read

Computation:

Assume;

Number of book Sophia's brother read = a

So,

Number of book Sophia read = 4a

So,

a + 4a = 40

5a = 40

a = 8

Number of book Sophia's brother read = 8 books

So,

Number of book Sophia read = 32 books
