Atenea has a total of 2 5/6 pounds of trail mix.
She makes seven 1/3-pound snack bags, which is a total of 7 * 1/3 = 7/3 pounds of trail mix.
Subtracting the amount used for her daily snacks from the total amount she has, we get 2 5/6 - 7/3 = 2 5/6 - 14/6 = 2 1/6 pounds of trail mix left.
Therefore, Atenea gives her brother 2 1/6 pounds of trail mix.
