Answer (2)

Weight of peanuts in a full bag = ¾ pounds
Weight of the bag when it is 2/3 full
Then
1 full bag = ¾ pounds
2/3 full bag = [(3/4)*(2/3)
= ½ pounds
So the weight of the peanuts when the bag is two thirds full is ½ pounds.

The weight of the peanuts when the bag is two-thirds full is 2 1 ​ pounds. This is calculated by multiplying the full weight of the bag, 4 3 ​ pounds, by 3 2 ​ . Therefore, the current weight of the peanuts is half a pound.
