    8 books

    4 mystery shelves and 7 biography shelves

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To arrive at each figure, the multiples of 32 and 56 are

    32=2*2*2*2*2

    56=2*2*2*7

    You notice that each term hss 2*2*2=8 hence the number of books per shelf is 8

    Since mystery books are 32 and a shelf has 8 books then the number of shelves will be 32/8 = 4 shelves. Similarly, for biography books, the number of shelves will be 56/8 = 7 shelves
