Sharing Candy

Tommy has a 1.69 ounce bag of M&M's. The bag contains 56 M&M's. He decides to share his candy by giving Lucy two-thirds of three-fourths of his M&M's. Lucy decides to share her M&M's with Melissa by giving Melissa two-thirds of three-fourths of her M&M's. If half of Melissa's M&M's are red, how many red M&M's does she have?
