    Answer: the number of cephalopods in her seashells collection is 26.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Maria has a collection of 64 seashells consisting of three types bivalves, gastropods, and cephalopods. If 1/4 of her collection are bivalves, it means that the number of bivalves that she has is

    1/4 * 64 = 14

    If 3/8 of her collection are gastropods, it means that the number of gastropods in her collection is

    3/8 * 64 = 24

    Therefore, the number of cephalopods in her seashells collection is

    64 - (14 + 24) = 26
