The key to this question is combining the two fractional pieces we know about. Namely, Hermione has 1/4 of the books and Ginny has 1/2 of them. This means that between the two of them, they account for 3/4 of the library.

So what does that mean? Well, it means that the books Ron and Hermione have (22 in total) account for the remaining 1/4 of the library. So then the whole library is [tex]4*22=88[/tex].
