    the book has 64 pages

    Step-by-step explanation:

    denoting the number of pages of the book as X then

    number of pages read on Monday + number of pages read on Tuesday + number of pages read on Wednesday = number of pages of the book

    40 + 1/8*X + 1/4*X = X

    40 + 3/8*X = X

    40 = X - 3/8*X = 5/8*X

    X = 40*8/5 = 64 pages

    therefore the book has 64 pages
