Well, 16 cakes with 5/8 pounds of jellybeans per cake would be 16 * 5/8. Can you figure it out from there?

Ok, well, it's easy. Simplify 8 out of the numerator and denominator to get 2*5. What is 2*5? Calculators won't be needed for this one, just takes a bit of work :)

That's right. 10 is the answer.
