10/16 or 5/8 pounds. A third of 15 is 5 and the cheesy popcorn weighs 2/3lbs.

we know that

To find the weight of the cheesy popcorn Multiply the total weight by the proportion of the cheesy popcorn

so

$\frac{15}{16} *\frac{2}{3}=\frac{30}{48}=\frac{5}{8}\ pounds$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the weight of the cheesy popcorn is $\frac{5}{8}\ pounds$
