Marian is making bread, she has 2 4/7 pounds of flour in her pantry. When making the bread, she will use ⅓ of the flour in the pantry. The amount of salt in the recipe is ⅓ of the amount of flour in the recipe. How much salt will Marian need to make bread?

Find 1/3 of 2/47. Then find a 1/3 of that amount. That is how much salt Marian will need. Let me know if you need more help!
