To find out how much the bag of peanuts weighs now, we'll need to calculate 2/3 of 3/4 of a pound.
First, let's find 2/3 of 3/4 by multiplying these fractions together:
2/3 * 3/4 = (2*3)/(3*4) = 6/12
Since 6/12 can be simplified further, let's simplify it by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 6:
6/12 = (6/6)/(12/6) = 1/2
So, the bag of peanuts now weighs 1/2 of a pound.
To summarize, the bag of peanuts weighs 1/2 pound now.
