Lets try to find out how many grams are in 1 pound and then we can find out how many are in ⅔ of a pound.

We know that 1 pound is equal to 453.59237 grams.

In order to find out how many grams are in ⅔ of a pound we can create a simple ratio to find this X unknown value.

If 1 pound is equal to 453.59237 grams

Then ⅔ of a pound is equal to X.

If we cross-multiply, we will have 1 times x equal to ⅔ time 453.59237.

X= ⅔*453.59237 

Lets multiply numerators and the result divide it with the denominator.

So we will have: X= (2*453.59237)/3

x=907.18474/3

x=302.394913 grams
