To find out how many of Destiny's library books are about animals, you need to determine one-third of the total number of books on her desk. Here's how you can calculate it:
Step 1: Determine the total number of books on Destiny's desk, which is given as 6.
Step 2: Find one-third of the total number of books. To do this, divide the total number of books by 3 (since one-third is equivalent to dividing by 3).
6 ÷ 3 = 2.
Therefore, one-third of Destiny's library books (2 out of 6) are about animals.
