    To find the number of books that were in Ronita's book bag originally, you will find how many book were added to the table by subtracting 5 and 3. She added 2 books.

    2 books are 1/3 of her total books. In math this can be written as:

    1/3x = 2

    1/3 1/3

    x = 6 books

    Ronita had 6 books in her book bag.
